At first glance, I don’t seem like an outdoorsy person, but somehow I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods, including working as a chef in remote Alaska (can you see me cooking a moose roast?) and teaching school in a tiny logging town in the North Cascade Mountains. Never Cry Werewolf is both an homage to those rugged adventures and to all the fun times I’ve spent singing stupid songs about lunchmeat (eww!) and gobbling down ‘Smores (yum!) around campfires. I didn’t set out to write books about werewolves, but I fell in love with the idea that everyone has a side of themselves they show to the world and one they keep hidden. Plus werewolves are way hotter than vampires, since they are actually alive (duh!). These days, I’m enjoying big city life in the Pacific Northwest, where things like cell phone reception and great Thai food really do exist. When I’m not writing YA novels, I’m haunting my local movie theater (extra gummy bears, please!) and spending time with a colorful cast of friends and family (who do occasionally howl).
