When she is not writing her next story, she can be found spending time with friends and family, playing cozy video games, going on adventures with her husband, or reading on the couch with her orange tabby cat.

Expertly rendered character dynamics, a believably suspenseful love triangle, and a focus on the bracing impact of trust and friendship sets this YA debut apart." —Publishers Weekly"The angst of unrequited teenage love pairs quite well with the life-or-death hunt for buried treasure, and the explosive conclusion satisfyingly wraps things up." —Booklist"A good addition to the YA dark academia genre with a treasure hunt at its core that will also appeal to fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes’s “The Inheritance Games” and the National Treasure movies." —School Library Journal
