Brenna Yovanoff was homeschooled until high school and grew up in a barn, a tent, and a tepee. She grew up in a snake-infested town in Arkansas, where they would occasionally drop turkeys from the skies. She moved to Colorado when she was five years old, where it snows frequently but never turkeys. The Replacement, The Space Between, Paper Valentine, Fiendish, and Places No One Knows are among her NYT bestseller novels. She now resides in Denver.
