CARRALEE BYRD is a Christian author of dark fantasy for adults. She’s been a storyteller since she was little, when she freaked out her mother with stories about the bad man who tied up Grandmother and left her in the closet. Her mother never did figure out where the stories were coming from, and the author’s imagination never has stopped freaking out her mother. Carralee Byrd writes more balanced (but still fairly dark) fantasy as Misti Wolanski.
