About the Author

When she’s not traipsing around the world or spending time in imaginary places, Heather
Demetrios lives with her husband in New York City. Originally from Los Angeles, she
now calls the East Coast home. Heather has an MFA in Writing for Children and Young
Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is a recipient of the PEN New England
Susan P. Bloom Discovery Award for her debut novel,
Something Real.
She is the founder of Live Your What, an organization dedicated to fostering passion
in people of all ages and creating writing opportunities for low-income youth. You
can always find her on Twitter (@HDemetrios) ogling the military dogs she wants to
adopt (but can’t because her NYC apartment is way too small).
