Cecily White, Psy.D. is a part-time university professor, part-time party-planner, and full-time mom who loves messing with her characters’ lives. Her myriad past careers include: Hand model, GAP salesgirl, movie projectionist, psychotherapist, yoga instructor, dance choreographer, psych diagnostician, rock n’ roll drummer, book reviewer, and copy editor. . . none of which are as fun as writing novels. She can swear in Klingon, take down alien aggressors using only her mind (or chopsticks), and kill spiders without getting schmutz on her shirt.

Cecily currently lives in Missouri with two children, two hamsters, and a pair of diabolical cats, where she spends her time creating new worlds and thinking up ways to make this one better. Visit her at website.
