Kathleen Peacock spent the most of her adolescent years composing short stories, all of which were filled with anguish and none of which made it beyond high school. She returned to school to earn an undergraduate degree after working as a graphic designer, unofficial technical writer, and publicist. She is the author of You Were Never Here and the Hemlock trilogy, and she lives in New Brunswick, Canada, just a few hours from the Maine border. Her website is www.kathleenpeacock.com.
