Y.D. La Mar is a woman of many hats—seamstress, mother, teacher, wife, dog owner—but her favorite hat is the one that says 'Author' across the front. A writer of eccentric, quirky book reviews with a TBR that grows faster than Jack's beanstalk, she gets much enjoyment out of recommending books in her reader groups that go outside of the norm and flirt with the edges of reality.

Author of The Soul Taker Series and many others, Y.D. gets her kicks writing everything from fluffy stories to pitch-black nightmare fodder, though monster-lover books are her bread and butter.
