Constance Phillips lives in Ohio with her husband, a ready-to-leave-the-nest child (One baby bird has already fled) and four canine kids.

Her perfect fantasy vacation would involve hunting Dracula across Europe with her daughter, who also digs that kind of stuff. When she's not writing about fairies, shifters, vamps, and guardian angels, she's working side-by-side with her husband in their hardwood flooring business.

Constance blogs regularly at www.constancephillips.com. You can also follow her on Twitter or friend her on Facebook.
