Tanya Aydelott is a Pakistani American writer who grew up in the Middle East, as that was the easiest geographic compromise her parents could find. She earned an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults, and recently moved to Texas with too many books and too few bookshelves. Her stories have been published in FORESHADOW: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading and Writing YA and Dark Moon Digest. You can find her online at tanya-aydelott.com
