Abby Leigh Hunter grew up near the cornfields of the Midwest, reading everything she could get her hands on. From her grandmother's stacks of National Enquirer and The Star to her mother's copies of Reader's Digest and Cosmopolitan, Abby developed a deep love of reading. She wanted to share and talk about the amazing things she read, which not surprisingly led to an interest in writing.

Abby spent her days in school reading the latest novels that caught her interest or writing poems and letters to friends instead of taking in her lessons. Her "too cool for school" attitude did not reflect well on her grades, but it did provide a creative outlet that would shape her adult life. Fascinated by the enduring tales the world's great authors of past and present could weave, she aspired to study them and one day write stories just as extraordinary. Her interest in classics led to an editor's role with an educational publisher, where her credits include academic editions of classics by Oscar Wilde and H.P. Lovecraft, with more to come.

Abby resides in a sleepy village on California's central coast with her husband (a lifelong writer/editor), their cat, and a yard full of blooming flowers and happy birds. She enjoys cliches, sunsets, long walks on the beach, and she will always love a good book.
