Nadine Brandes has been known to do wild things, like riding a sleeper train across Russia, in the name of book research. She is the 4-time Carol Award-winning author of seven Young Adult novels including Romanov, Fawkes, Wishtress, The Nightmare Virus, and The Out of Time Series.

While inventing worlds is fun, she is most passionate about Jesus, motherhood, and creating with the Creator. Nadine and her husband strive to live out Psalm 34:3 with their four exuberant children.
