Bru Baker got her first taste of life as a writer at the tender age of four when she started publishing a weekly newspaper for her family. What they called nosiness she called a nose for news, and no one was surprised when she ended up with degrees in journalism and political science and started a career in journalism. 

 

Bru spent fifteen years writing for newspapers before making the jump to fiction. She now works in a Midwestern library, though she still finds it hard to believe someone's willing to pay her to talk about books all day.

 

Most evenings you can find her curled up with a mug of tea, some fuzzy socks, and a book or her laptop. Whether it's creating her own characters or getting caught up in someone else's, there's no denying that Bru is happiest when she's engrossed in a story.

 

She and her husband have two children, which means a lot of her books get written from the sidelines of various sports practices.
