Sunshine Bacon was born a lover of stories in Ohio’s only square county. She read books to escape her unhappy childhood and began writing to create everything she craved: big families, adventures, and unconditional friendship. Sunshine has published two YA novels. She lives in Seattle with her partner, three growing children, bulging bookshelves, toppling stacks of tabletop games, and the scent of something delicious baking in the oven.
