ALICE WILDE grew up with a love for reading and spent her teens writing and submitting her essays as fantasy stories, much to the annoyance, but often high marks, of her teachers. Now, she spends of her days writing various fantasy paranormal romances (filled with gorgeous men and, of course, magic) that she hopes will spark a flame in readers as much as they do in herself. She is currently living with her cat in a bustling city she doesn't see much of, as she's too busy dreaming up, writing down, and living vicariously through the characters in her next book, though she generally finds enough time for a real life date or three... Everyone needs a bit of inspiration now and again, right?
