Nissa Leder was born and raised in Washington State, but now lives in the sunny Phoenix Valley with her husband and their two boxers, two cats, and pet poison dart frogs. Always an avid reader, she didn't realize her love for writing her own stories until her freshman year in college. Once she knew her life's calling, she began studying the craft of writing and eventually obtained an MFA from Spalding University. When she isn't writing down the stories that fill her head, she's likely at the tennis courts working on her forehand or journeying to another world by reading a book. She's a big believer in following your dreams and encourages everyone to shoot for the moon and pursue their passions.
