Marta Acosta's dream job is to write heart-rending obituaries, because she feels they are the most under-appreciated of all literary forms. She's the author of the recently-released THE SHE-HULK DIARIES, DARK COMPANION, a young adult gothic, the award-winning CASA DRACULA series, and NANCY'S THEORY OF STYLE (under the pen-name Grace Coopersmith).She's a Stanford University graduate and was a frequent contributor of features and op-eds to the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE and the CONTRA COSTA TIMES. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Marta still lives in a fog-belt with her family and dogs. Her many attempts to grow tomatoes have failed, but she can finally bake a loaf of crusty bread. Her current obsession is vintage fountain pens and she's happy to send personal notes to readers.PLEASE GO TO THE KINDLE STORE to see the new editions of her books with bonus features and wonderful cover art and design by Nan Richards of Nan Richards Illustration.
