H.D. Carver grew up in North Texas. A reluctant reader, she didn’t fall in love with books until she was eighteen, when her senior year English teacher reached out with the right one. She now lives outside Los Angeles in the wildland-urban interface with her family of artists. When she isn’t writing, she can be found wandering trails, bookstores, or the stacks at her local library, always in search of the magic that comes from getting lost—either in a book or in nature.
