Author: Ashley Burdin

Ashley Burdin has loved reading since before she could read. No, seriously: she memorized a picture book when she was two and tricked everyone into thinking she was a reading prodigy. She's been telling stories and tricking people ever since (but she promises she's not an old man). Ashley lives in Brooklyn where she works in publishing and writes young adult fiction. When she's not writing and reading, (yes, she eventually learned), she enjoys nerding out over Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and K-dramas (to name a few), drinking too much coffee, and valiantly searching for the best donut in New York.
