Wanda Hellmund grew up in Germany with a penchant for storytelling and a love for spooky books. She wrote her first murder-mystery in fourth grade and hasn't stopped writing since. After studying politics in London, she moved to New York where she earned her master's degree in journalism at Columbia University. She lives in Southern California with her husband and their rescue dog (who is whatever breed you want her to be). When she isn't immersed in a fantasy book, you can find her watching horror movies and drinking copious amounts of coffee. Our Dark Incantations is her debut novel.
