Emily Hainsworth was raised in upstate New York, but quickly fled its grey skies for the sunny Rocky Mountains. She studied English and psychology at the University of Colorado, and though she spends her days working around cats and dogs, writing for young adults is her true passion. She counts F. Scott Fitzgerald and the dark thrillers of Christopher Pike among her influences. Emily currently resides in Denver with her husband, cat, and standard poodle. THROUGH TO YOU is her first novel. She's hard at work on her next. Visit her at www.emilyhainsworth.com.
