Pauline Gruber is a self-professed music junkie, cat wrangler and daytripper. She wrote her first book in seventh grade about a trio of competitive cat siblings and won an award for it. Fast forward to 1992 when she took a trip to Paris with her aunt where she discovered a love of three things: travel, croissants and old cathedrals, especially those featuring gargoyles. Twenty years later, she translates her fascination with gargoyles into an extraordinarily suspenseful love story. Pauline lives outside of Chicago with her precocious black cats.
