Publisher info

Jeanette Battista is the award winning and Amazon best-selling young adult author of The Moon Series, These Violent Delights, and the Books of Aerie series. She received her MA in English literature with a concentration in medieval studies. She’d been a technical writer, a software release project manager, and a freelance educational writer. She’s taught college freshmen how to write and occasionally still talks writing with high school and middle school students.

Her household includes several humans and three cats, one of whom is missing an eye. He is unfortunately not named Odin, a choice that will haunt her forever. When she’s not writing, she’s having the crap beaten out of her in a ring during Muay Thai class, reading anything she can get her grubby hands on, and playing Unstable Unicorns. She lives and works in North Carolina.

Smashwords Interview

What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
I get to create diverse worlds that speak to me in some way. I am able to get the voices in my head out on paper and hopefully they mean something to the people reading them.
What are you working on next?
I have a number of projects planned, though my next YA is a retelling of The Phantom of the Opera with a much darker version of Christine, where she is--in fact--the Phantom. I also have a M/M contemporary romance retelling of Pride and Prejudice that is done and waiting for publication.
