M.E. Born lives in Australia with her American husband and their five children. She first began “writing” as a 16-year-old, spending her summer evenings wandering her parents’ farm imagining the dialogue between characters from romance stories that she would one day put down on “paper”. Born holds a BA degree with Honours, and devotes her time to home-educating her children. Although she is a published Christian short-story writer, Saving Studs Hernandez: Elaria’s Trust is her first novel.
