Shelby Bach grew up reading every book she could find and writing stories in battered notebooks. She also rarely came home with a clean shirt and had a lot of accidents that ended with a hunt for Band-Aids. Nowadays, she writes on her laptop rather than in a notebook, but not much else has changed. She is the author of the Ever Afters series, which includes "Of" "Giants and Ice", "Of Witches and Wind", "Of Sorcery and Snow", and "Of Enemies and Endings". She lives in Portland, Oregon.
