Miscelleana Tsalikis (former pen name Lina Hart) fell in love with reading while growing up in Orange County, California, which ultimately led her to achieve a B.A. in Linguistics. Once she took up narrative writing, she quickly embraced a new love. Writing fiction awarded her a canvas where she could bring whimsical worlds and captivating characters into existence. She quickly began developing and chasing a passion of bringing a rollercoaster of emotions to her readers. Miscelleana now resides in Long Island, New York, spending her days writing with her heart on her sleeve while enjoying her beautiful and busy days with her blended family of six kids and her incredibly supportive (and handsome) husband.
