About the Author

Eva V. Gibson is the author of contemporary YA novels Together We Caught Fire and Where Secrets Lie.

A bookworm since early childhood, she has routinely gravitated to the dark and gritty, reading, then writing, stories with grim themes and flawed, complicated characters. She has very little trouble expressing herself via the written word, except when it comes to biographies.

She lives in Northern Virginia with her family, and spends most of her time brooding, baking, creating, and parenting, awaiting the day her kids read her books with equal parts excitement and trepidation.
