Lilith Saintcrow was born in New Mexico, bounced around the world as an Air Force brat, and fell in love with writing when she was ten years old.

A previously published author, she has written a paranormal romance, Dark Watcher. She currently lives in Vancouver, WA with her husband, two small children and a houseful of cats.
