Born in Fayetteville, NC Mariah Lynde found her passion for the world of fantasy in book at an early age. Spending many days with her nose buried in some written text rather than going out to play, it fostered her love of the written word. A military wife and mother of one, Mariah write from her home in the Piedmont of North Carolina. She is a former paramedic and an avid fan of Australian Shepherds.
