Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she write fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance. She lives in Rhode Island with her fiance, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat.
