About the Author
A.N. Caudle has a history in engineering with a degree in organizational leadership (and to make her even nerdier, she went to space camp). After spending over a decade poring over architectural schematics, she was hit with the idea for a story that demanded (yes, demanded) to be told. What was supposed to be one singular book turned into a series (did not see that coming) and much more, going far beyond anything she could have imagined. Caudle lives in Arkansas with her husband, two sons, and a menagerie of pets.
