When not writing, Joanne Macgregor is a counseling psychologist in private practice, where she works mainly with victims of crime and trauma. Although she lives in the frenetic adrenaline-rush of the big city, Joanne has always been in love with nature, and escapes into the wilds whenever she can. She's a Harry Potter fanatic, bakes the best choc-chip cookies on the planet, and is addicted to chilies and bulletproof coffee. She started her professional life as a high school English teacher and loves writing about, and for, teens. She is the author of several books for young adults, including The Law of Tall Girls, Hushed, Recoil, Refuse, Rebel, Scarred, and-for younger YA readers-Turtle Walk, Rock Steady, and Fault Lines.
