About the Author

  Born in Connecticut and now residing in Central Florida, Selena Gatlin has been crafting stories since the age of seven. What began as living room plays cast with siblings has evolved into a lifelong devotion to the written word. For Selena Gatlin, reading was a sanctuary; a way to navigate the complexities of childhood by drifting into the vivid, imaginative worlds found within the pages of a book.

Drawing inspiration from legendary storytellers like Toni Morrison and Stephen King, Selena Gatlin views the alphabet as more than just letters; they are pieces of art used to build landscapes of escape and reflection. A versatile writer who refuses to be confined by genre, Selena Gatlin makes a gripping debut with thiscoming of age novel, proving that any spark of imagination can be transformed into a compelling narrative.

When not immersed in a manuscript, Selena Gatlin can be found exploring the natural beauty of Florida’s waterways, engaging in community service, or enjoying quiet moments in nature with family. With a passion for storytelling that acts as both therapist and friend, Selena Gatlin invites readers to get hopelessly lost in the words, just as a young child once did in the quiet corners of Connecticut.
