Lani Woodland

I became an avid reader in elementary school, when I first discovered the Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley Twins series. In sixth grade, I began writing plays and recruiting (with force when necessary) my friends to act them out. Most of these early works were inspired by She-Ra, the epitome of girl power to my young self.

I have a hard time enjoying any book without at least a little romance in it. I live in Southern California with my husband, our two children and a large collection of board games. I have worked as a spot-welder, babysitter, janitor, photographer, gymnastics coach, and movie extra. I enjoy bonfires at the beach, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, speed talking, chocolate as a cure-all, and the word "precisely."

I'm the author of The YA Sci-Fi Stronger and THE YARA SILVA TRILOGY, including: Intrinsical, Indelible, and Inevitable. Melonie Piper and I co-authored the pirate fantasy adventure PIECES of JADE. We also co-wrote The Pom Pom Periodicals (THAT’S THE SPIRIT, GIVE ME A C and CHEER UP). I have two short stories in Enchanted: Loves Stories of the Paranormal that I co-wrote with Melonie Piper.
