After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, Lia Riley scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence, and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with an Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile, and swilling fourex with stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments.
When not torturing heroes (because, c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia and her family live mostly in Northern California, herding unruly chickens, camping, beach combing, daydreaming about as-of-yet unwritten books, wading through a mile-high TBR pile, and scheming yet another trip.
