Adam TestaAdam Testa spent his childhood in and around rural Grundy County, Illinois, as depicted in "To Live and Die at Shadow Ridge," where he dreamed of writing and publishing a novel. R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" captivated him as a child, while Dan Brown's Rbert Langdon series influenced his adult writing style. Testa has six years of experience in the community association management industry, most recently serving in corporate communications for a national service provider. Prior to working with HOAs, he served as a multimedia reporter for a mid-sized regional news outlet covering local government, higher education and arts and entertainment. He resides in Phoenix with his wife, Anna, and son, Zachary. When he's not writing, Testa enjoys following pop culture, watching comic book movies and tolerating "Baby Shark" for the umpteenth time.
