Becky Gaines lives in the desert of Southern California with her family where the sunsets are epic and the lizards plentiful. When not working or plotting new stories, she loves rereading her favorite books (especially Red Rising by Pierce Brown and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo), adding new songs to her next book playlist, watching Grimm again, and scouring the internet for new frogs to obsess over (even if nothing will top the grumpy cuteness of the black rain frog). If there’s a thunderstorm nearby, you will find her enjoying the rain and swearing when the thunder shakes the house, all while wishing storm powers/storm magic were really a thing. You can find Becky on Facebook or on Instagram, where she’s most active, under the name @beckygainesauthor.
