Amelia Hickman was born August 4, 1990 in White Salmon, Washington, but was raised since age 1 in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is an avid reader of gossip magazines and Wolverine comics, and her girliest weaknesses include vanilla mochas, movie villains, expensive handbags, dead European poets, and fresh leather journals. She has dreamed of living in Seattle since she first saw it from an airplane window at sunrise. If there is one thing she loves more than love, it's writing about it.
