A.M. was born in Cleveland, Ohio. As an adult, she became a transplanted, born-again Texan where she raised her three children in small towns. A voracious reader, avid gamer and animal lover, A.M. is happiest reading, writing, spending time with her family and dogs. Reading Stephen King, Agatha Christie and others from a young age gave her a love for mystery, drama and horror stories and were the inspiration for decades of writing.
