Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with THE Britney S. Lewis, author of Blood Moon!

Britney S. Lewis is the #1 New York Times, Indie, and USA Today Bestselling Author of Blood Moon. She is also the award-winning author of The Dark Place and The Undead Truth of Us.

She grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, where she fell in love with storytelling and the idea that magic moved and breathed in our world. After getting her Bachelor of Arts and Science Degree, she worked in the field of marketing and communications for a few years before accepting a position as an editor for greeting cards, where her job is to make sure she gets the best words on paper. When Britney isn’t daydreaming about new stories, she is an urban hiker, exploring the city on foot, looking for iced coffee. She can also be found watching TV shows with her pup or practicing West Coast Swing in one of her local dance studios. She lives in Kansas City.

Listen in as we chat more about Britney’s books, why you should be annoying online, swing dancing, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @britney.s.lewis
