Sebree, Erica: - Erica lives in Austin, Texas, where she works in public service as a graphic designer. She reads too much romance and drinks too much tea-usually at the same time. She makes frequent attempts at gardening, and will happily talk to any animal who crosses her path. She believes lists should be written in colorful ink, and dreams of one day having a farm sanctuary with dozens of adorable cows. When she escapes into fantasy worlds, it's to places where magic is vital, animals are guardians, and a stubborn bodyguard's only weakness is the fierce, reluctant heroine he's sworn to protect.
