As a child, Angela Teagardner spent her free time scrawling fairytales into notebooks and often dismayed busy English teachers with stories that went dozens of pages beyond the assignment. She honed her craft writing fanfiction and now writes professionally. Her work can be found at Flash Fiction Online, Daily Science Fiction, Short Edition, and elsewhere. She lives in Ohio with her husband, daughter, a very entitled tabby cat, and two boisterous kittens.
