In fact, London considers herself a recovering runaway and also tried living life down under. &nbsp;She graduated from George Mason University with a B.A. in Music and M.F.A in Creative Writing. She&rsquo;s had an eclectic array of jobs including receptionist, legal secretary, literary assistant, high school English teacher, and freelance editor.</font></span></p><p></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="line-height:200%; margin:0px"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">London lives in a Washington, DC suburb with her husband and two greyhounds. She&rsquo;s happiest when she&rsquo;s writing novels, reading books, or touring old house and cemeteries.</font></span></p><p></p>
