Meri Elena has been writing stories since she could pick up a pencil. As a toddler, the stories always involved butterflies. Now they typically center around the supernatural. Nightfall is her first novel, but she previously published two e-books (Anew, a novelette, and These Four Walls) as well a a few short stories and poems scattered about the internet. When not on the proverbial clock, Meri reads or watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is a self-proclaimed cat person, but she is also a fish person and that causes some pet-owning challenges.
