Early on, Seleste deLaney discovered the trick to not fearing the monsters under the bed was to turn them into heroes. Since then, she's seen enough human monsters that she prefers to escape to fictional worlds where even demons must play by the rules and good guys might end up battered and bruised (or dead), but they always win.
Living to southeast Michigan with her kids and a pair of fierce slobber-monsters of her own, she is hard at work on her next book. During rare moments when not battling terrorists, vampires, or rogue clockworks, she loves to interact with readers.
