Author Tara V. Thompson has lived all over the South, which serves as an inspiration for her writings. As a kid, her first love was science - one that is shared by her character, Morgan. She currently lives in Savannah, Georgia with her family and two cats. Candace Andersen grew up in a creative family, inspired by flora, fauna, and the Victorian era. She works away among books, antiques, and woodland findings in mixed media and watercolors on paper. She lives currently on the outskirts of Salt Lake City in a 1920s Tudor with her son, boyfriend, and armful of animal companions.
