M. L. Pope is undeniably strange by nature, but she can't help it. She is brimming with the weird, wonderful magic that makes one a writer. Growing up, she resented that part of herself. It's difficult to be different when all you want is to fit in. But she had a calling, and try as she might, she could not fight that magic. Now she is a Young Adult author. She published her first novel, The Day We Faced the Storm, in November 2014 and released her second novel, The Girl From Enceladus, in June 2015.
