Ashley Poston is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Dead Romantics, among other novels. After graduating from the University of South Carolina, she spent ten years in the publishing industry, first as a social media coordinator, then as a book cover and marketing designer, and later as an author. Her novels have been featured on the Indie Next List, and in Teen Vogue, Seventeen, EW, CNN, Hypable, and Buzzfeed, among others.When not writing, she likes trying various arts and crafts (she's currently addicted to building miniature rooms) and taking long walks as an excuse to listen to Dungeons & Dragons podcasts. She lives in South Carolina with her bossy cat, Paprika, and they are firm believers that we're all a bunch of weirdos looking for other weirdos, asking for their AO3 username.
