Lia Riley writes contemporary romance. After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling grog with stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments. A British literature fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward Rochester as her fictional boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn't mind. Much. When not torturing heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly children, camps, beach combs, daydreams about future books, and schemes overseas trips. She and her family live mostly in Northern California. Webpage: www.liariley.com Twitter: @liarileywrites Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorliarileyPinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/liariley
