Kaiya Hart was born in 1977 in Villa Grove, Illinois and raised by wolves (the nice kind). She was married in 2001 to Tim Mann (and, consequently, the Air Force). Since then she has lived in Germany, Texas, and England, where the couple currently reside with their two dogs and one cat. Most often, she is known as that crazy, quiet person lurking in corners at the parties.
Kaiya's favorite books are Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House, Stephen King's IT, and Peter S. Beagle's Tamsin. Beagle is also her favorite author of all time. Kaiya has been writing for 15 years, mostly for her own amusement since there are stories she wants to read that just haven't been written. She focuses on fantasy and horror, but 'writes whatever happens into her head' and doesn't limit herself to any one thing.
Skylar Payne had one goal in life. Keep her head down and disappear. Discovering she's a powerful sorcerous from a magical world was definitely not part of the plan, but now she's stuck in this funhouse world. With the school bully turned werewolf the closest thing she's got to a friend, she's going to do whatever it takes to get back home. Even if she's got to turn a couple people into penguins.
