Angie Grigaliunas (grig-ah-LOO-nahs) is a part-time normal person and full-time author of dystopian/fantasy young adult books. And also some romance. (“She admits it! Murderer!”) She loves Jesus, the woods, and the stars, and has always wanted to be a superhero with a secret identity.

She has completed seven novels: one about elves that needs a massive revision before it ever sees the light of day; one that is part of her current story but also needs a massive revision to fit a new storyline; the actual first, second, and third books (Sowing, Quelling, and Razing) in her dystopian/fantasy series (The Purification Era); the first of a companion trilogy set in the same world as The Purification Era; and a Cinderella retelling with fey (The Midnight Prince). She also has an upcoming series of Christian short stories. When she’s not writing, she’s usually Facebooking — ack! — or thinking about story stuff. Or exercising. Or eating ice cream, because life is short and ice cream is delicious.

Despite several of her writing friends once claiming she’s surely Canadian, she is not; a native to Ohio, she now lives in Tennessee with her dear husband, their goofy dog, and their small army of rescue cats.a
