Gwen Hayes lives in the Pacific Northwest with her real life hero and a pack of wild beasts (two of whom she gave birth to). She is a reader, writer, editor, and lover of pop culture (which, other than yogurt, is the only culture she gets). She would say she loves to garden, cook gourmet meals, and hike in the rainforest… but that would be lying. Instead, she likes watching bad movies (Can you bring me my chaptsick? My lips hurt real bad.), playing celebrity gossip games (fafarazzi.com), and eating gourmet foods (cheetos=yum). She does like to force her family out to go geocaching a few times a year because that fulfills her secret inner geek while also getting fresh air.

Gwen writes fiction and romance for adults and young adult readers. Her stories currently take place in Serendipity Falls--a fictional coastal town with a big secret and a big problem. Luckily, all her characters are getting used to saving the world. For more information, please visit Gwen at www.gwenhayes.com.
