J. Leigh Bralick is the author of The Madness Method and The Lost Road Chronicles, and slave to a dozen more works in progress. When she isn't writing or studying for her nursing degree, she enjoys learning and experiencing new things, from beekeeping to microbiology to Krav Maga. She lives in a suburb of Dallas, TX where she kills every houseplant she tries to grow and has much better success growing wildflowers in the garden (read: weeds). In general, she is a fan of peanut butter, boots, things-that-are-not-pink, and the unexpected.
