Growing up in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, Lin always loved stories in any style and pursued a degree in film production, but she later decided she’d rather write books than screenplays. She currently lives in Luxembourg and is learning to speak very poor French (one of three official languages—and no, English isn’t one of them). The local history, castles, and cultures are enchanting, but her greatest pleasure is obsessing over a fandom whenever the opportunity arises. Her oddball brain has always struggled to connect with contemporary books, so she continues to create the queer, adventurous, romantic fantasies that she’s always wanted. Born with more heart than sense, Lin will always find ways to help readers feel seen and loved because the best found families are often hiding between the pages. *Be Heroic. Be Villainous. Be YOU. —Lin*
