Shalini Boland is a million-copy, USA-Today bestselling author. She lives by the sea in Dorset, England with her husband, two teens and their cheeky dog, Jess. Before kids, she was signed to Universal Music Publishing as a singer/songwriter, but now she spends her days writing dark adventures and psychological thrillers (in between re-stocking the fridge and dealing with endless baskets of laundry).
