L.R. Braden is a bestselling, multi-award-winning author of dark-yet-hopeful urban fantasy stories that bring magic to the mundane. Her published works include the Magicsmith series, the Rifter series, and several works of shorter fiction.
A bit of a recluse, she enjoys collecting skills that may (or may not) prove useful in the event that she is suddenly whisked away on a grand adventure in some alternate reality. Since that hasn't happened yet, she mostly spends her days weaving fantastic tales, playing with her family, and getting lost on purpose. Her writing has won many awards, including the Eric Hoffer Book Award for Sci-fi / Fantasy, the Next Generation Indie Book Award for Paranormal Fiction, and the Imadjinn Award for Best Urban Fantasy.
