Summer Hanford grew up on a dairy farm in Upstate New York. She earned her bachelor’s degree in experimental psychology and went on to do graduate and doctoral work in behavioral neurology.

Turning away from long hours spent in research, Summer returned to her childhood dream of writing fantasy novels, although she enjoys turning her pen to science fiction, Regency and adventure as well. She is now a faculty member of the AllWriters’ Workplace and Workshop and has launched her first fantasy series, Thrice Born, with Martin Sisters Publishing Company. To learn more about Summer visit www.summerhanford.com.
