M.D. Grimm has wanted to write stories since second grade (kind of young to make life decisions, but whatever) and nothing has changed since then (well, plenty of things actually, but not that!). Thankfully, she has indulgent parents who let her dream, but also made sure she understood she'd need a steady job to pay the bills (they never let her forget it!). After graduating from the University of Oregon and majoring in English, (let's be honest: useless degree, what else was she going to do with it?) she started on her writing career and couldn't be happier. Working by day and writing by night (or any spare time she can carve out), she enjoys embarking on romantic quests and daring adventures (living vicariously, you could say) and creating characters that always triumph against the villain, (or else what's the point?) finding their soul mate in the process. Timeless love against an ageless enemy... who will rise victorious? Join a menagerie of shifters and their allies as they fight for love and their lives against a relentless enemy, bent on their eradication.
