A.L. Hatcher holds bachelor's degrees in both forensic investigation and forensic pathology as well as an associate degree in veterinary technology. Because of her love of animals, she's been a registered veterinary technician for over 20 years. However, her passion for writing began in childhood when she would write her own short stories and picture books. Today, she spends her time caring for animals, reading, listening to true crime podcasts, and writing fiction about crime, suspense, and all things dark. She lives in the Midwest with her family, some chickens, and an ever-changing menagerie of pets.
