Phetra H NovakPhetra often refers to herself as the odd man out, the dorky book nerd. She'd rather spend time with a good book or making up fantastic stories with even more fantastic characters, than live in the real world, dealing with real people. The real worldis strange, in a very non-humorous way, and people in it complicate it to the point of wearing you out. In the written-word world, whether it's someone else's words or her own, things might get busy, complicated, and even downright painful, but somewhere along the line, a hero's always on the horizon. He's probably not a prim and proper, church-going pretty-boy, since the author prefers rebellious men and women who don't follow the protocols of society. One of her favorite sayings is that "Only dead fish follow the stream," and, well, she ain't no dead fish. Phetra lives with her family-two children, a domestic partner, and their two cats-in Gothenburg, Sweden. When reading her books, you'll notice she always finds a way to bring her own culture into her stories. The joy of reading and writing comes from her childhood and is something she has always loved and been passionate to share with others. Phetra loves hearing from her readers, even with ideas of what they'd like to come next. If you are looking for her, the best place to start looking is at home in the quietest corner of the house, where she'll be curled up with either her Kindle, reading, or her laptop, typing away.
