Biographie:
Audrey Jean (she/her) knew she was going to be an author one day, she just wasn't sure how. Or when. Let alone of what. When she's not writing something or other, you can usually find her trying to make a dent in her ever-growing TBR pile, working on training her cats to take walks, or stewing over a new cookbook with flour inevitably streaked over her front. If that doesn't work, look in the mirror, spin around twice while saying, Do you want to watch the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice? and she'll show up behind you with a bottle of wine, ready to go.
