Ava MartenAva's always been a dreamer and not the kind who apologizes for it. Hooked on Sci-Fi, Paranormal, and Fantasy Romance, she's the sort of reader who craves action, spice, and love with a primal edge-ingredients she's been devouring since her teens. Grwing up in Mozambique, she was blessed with a rich tapestry of cultures-her mother's African roots interwoven with her Portuguese father's traditions. The blend seeped into her veins and her soul, flavoring her life like the pages of her grandfather's "kissing books" and her mother's mystery books (Agatha Christie, anyone?). Those early reads ignited a hunger that's never been sated. Today, she takes that insatiable curiosity and channels it into her own stories, creating worlds where her readers can get lost just as easily as she does. And these aren't just any worlds. Think laser guns, action so fast it's a blur, and steamy, irresistible aliens who throw in the kind of twists you never saw coming. Ava's now planted her roots in Norway, sharing her life with her husband, two little explorers, and a cunning black cat aptly named Mr. Pinky. Read More Read Less
