About The Author

Laini Taylor

Laini Taylor, a self-described “writer-artist-daydreamer-nerd-person,” is an American author and artist located in Portland, Oregon, USA.

She is the author of the National Book Award Finalist Lips Touch: Three Times, as well as the novels Blackbringer and Silksinger.

Random facts about Laini:

“Some of my favorite things are books and bookstores and breakfast food and mangoes and chocolate,
and cake stands and table cloths and old houses, and going places (like libraries and other countries),
and dreaming up stories, and making stuff (like cupcakes or peculiar dolls),
and playing with Jim and Clementine, and taking pictures,
and falling asleep (so cozy) and waking up (exciting!).”

I was hooked from the very first page.. Yes, I can say that again. My mind is full of beautiful stories of angels and demons (is that the right word?), stories of love and hope, stories of mythical creatures in a war as old as the world itself… My mind is screaming: I want more,…
