Natasha Tremblay is a Government Press Secretary by day and a satirical science fiction & fantasy writer by night. Originally from Québec, the twenty-four-year-old Torontonian has a degree in English Literature from Concordia University and a certificate in Law from Université Laval. Tremblay claims that her main literary influences are Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King. However, her mother believes that overexposure to SpongeBob SquarePants, Futurama, South Park and Family Guy in her formative years is to blame for her irreverent sense of humour.
