About the author

Kim Vandel

<p>Kim Vandel grew up on a steady diet of Saturday morning Justice League cartoons and Sunday morning Bible stories. It was inevitable that the two would someday merge into the story concept of Guardians&mdash;men and women with God-given &ldquo;superpowers.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p> <p>She worked in the field of environmental science before staying home to be a full-time mom and writer, and she now uses her science background to bring the speculative element of her fiction to life.</p> <p>Kim lives in the often gloomy Seattle suburbs, which suits her and her writing style just fine. When she&rsquo;s not reading or writing YA fiction (or tending to Guardian business), you can find her hanging out on social media. Learn more about Kim at her website: kimvandel.com.&nbsp;</p>
