Danielle West

Danielle West was born in a suburb of Boston, Ma. She has lived in forts in the woods, cardboard boxes on the streets of Toronto and in fancy high rise flats in London. An avid reader she could always find solace, adventure or distraction in a good book no matter how empty her pockets were.

Danielle has been a go-go dancer for Boston punk bands, helped start the UK's first roller derby league (the London Rollergirls who are still going strong) and has competed professionally in mixed martial arts all over the world. She enjoys making soap, singing badly at karaoke, going to the zoo, taking care of her awesome daughter and unruly guinea pigs as well as baking cookies for her boyfriend and writing stories that people enjoy reading.

She works on the internet with search engines and studies language patterns. She has written articles for Fighters Only and Train Hard Fight Easy. This is her first novel.
