RL WESTRL West grew up in Texas, though with separated parents, she also spent time in Colorado, and Missouri where she was born. She presently lives in Texas with her husband and two lively young daughters and their cat, Pumpkin. Growing up with a single mm, she had to put her dreams on hold as the youngest child. She grew up fast, always working and providing for her family. However, she has been writing stories since she was young, and after some encouragement from friends and family, she decided it was time to follow her dream of becoming an author. They say only the good die young, and I think it's to give the rest of us more time to become good. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know that some of the young we lost are not dead but reborn to become powerful guardians watching over others like them? That's a world RL West has created, and she can't wait to share it with her readers. Her series, The Order of the Guardians, follows Leyla Gray as she fights both good and evil to make her own way. Both Guardians and demonkinds are after her, and it won't be as easy as she thinks to avoid her destiny. Read More Read Less
