About the Author


Shayla Poling is a strange creature often found lurking in the stacks of the Belmont County District Library. She feeds on literature of all sorts, though her favorite flavors are YA and fantasy. She prefers her fantasy with a lump of sugar and a heaping helping of magic and mysticism. A recent graduate of the University of Cincinnati's masters program in fiction, she is working (sometimes diligently, sometimes not) on a YA novel featuring everything from knights and dragons to werewolves and vampires.

She understands if that does not inspire confidence.

This creature has been known to devour mass quantities of cartoons, anime, and video games. If provoked, she may recount her opinions on these at agonizing length.
