About the author

Adelaide Thorne

<p>After my stick figure comic series &ldquo;The Adventures of The Unstoppable&rdquo; failed to garner any fans, I accepted that drawing would never be my superpower. I also accepted that I was not, after all, The Unstoppable. Twelve-year-old me never forgot the thrill of adventure, however, and the mystery of heroes, powers, and a bad guy who maybe is only bad because he feels stuck. Or maybe he&rsquo;s just bad, and that&rsquo;s interesting, too.</p><p>My writing has taken me around the worlds of my brain, and also around a lot of restaurants. After years of being the pickiest eater in the south, I somehow got a stint as a city blogger and food columnist, which taught me that people are too obsessed with queso and not excited enough about chicken noodle soup. I&rsquo;ve since said goodbye to journalistic writing and hello to creative writing, which, after all, is what I&rsquo;ve always done.</p><p>I currently live in Florida, where I complain about the humidity but never make any plans to move. My husband and I have two cats (only two), who are excellent sounding boards for ideas.</p>
