Somewhere in the Midwest, when the sun dips below the horizon, if it's not too humid, you can catch a wild Jem Spears in her natural habitat: napping beneath a number of cats. The rest of the time, she's at her computer, making characters kiss and distributing happy endings like they're candy. Her alter egos produce poetry, translations, and fanfic. "Starlight and Cinnamon" is her debut novel. You can find out more about the author at www.jemspears.com.
