She lives in Montreal, Quebec with her fantastic, prose-inspiring husband and her two cats. When she told her second-grade history teacher that she wanted to work with history someday, she is fairly certain this isn't what either party had in mind. She has been, at various times, a historical re-enactor, a professional witch at a metaphysical supply store, a web developer, and a vending machine repairperson.","brand":"Olivia Atwater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50452654522642,"sku":"9781777688059","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_75eb7cd9-52fc-465e-b045-3fd123ae6b38.jpg?v=1729818245","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/better-blurb-writing-for-authors-9781777688059","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
