Tere Michaels unofficially began her writing career at the age of four when she learned people got paid to write stories. It seemed the most perfect and logical job in the world, and her path was never in question. She writes happily ever afters in the big city—with heaps of snark, angst, and humor. Her focus is on characters and all the ridiculous ways they trip through life and love. She has written fifteen books, including her popular Faith, Love & Devotion series and the multilayered dystopian saga The Vigilante.
