    Angell M. Harding is a caffeine addict from Brisbane, Australia. Her natural habitat is perched over her tablet in the nearest coffee shop or tea house, gazing into space in between furious bursts of typing.

When she's not writing, she pours her creative energies into drawing, painting, and sculpting.
