MONIQUE RICKARD is the author of Blood and Damnation Duology, Selling Poppies, and various short stories with dark twists and feminist ponderings.

​

She spent most of her formative years hiding behind thick novels or sloshing around Western Washington in rainboots. Chronically shy and soft-spoken, Monique is no stranger to raised eyebrows and the obligatory statement,

"It's always the quiet ones you have to watch out for."

 

Don't be fooled by her unassuming demeanor -  beneath the surface lurks a twisted imagination conjuring the next thrilling encounter between darkness and desire. Peek into the mind that keeps readers guessing - what dark secret could she be hiding next? (Wink, wink)
