Jodi Perkins 

Jodi Perkins is a high school English teacher moonlighting as a writer of contemporary fantasy, mishmashed fairy tales, and dystopian fiction. She lives on the Gulf Coast with her hubby, teenaged son, wiggle-butt Corgi, eight chickens, and two pigs. In addition to roughing out stories, Jodi loves paddle boarding, gardening, kayaking, charcoal-drawing, relaxing with a book on the bay, creating cool lessons for teens, and staying up way too late.

She also gets freaked out referring to herself in the third person.
