Rebecca Yarros is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author known for her vibrant storytelling and unforgettable characters. Her most notable works include Fourth Wing, The Last Letter, and The Things We Leave Unfinished. She has received acclaim for her work, including the Colorado Romance Writer’s Award of Excellence for Eyes Turned Skyward.

Rebecca loves military heroes and has been blissfully married to hers for over twenty years. She is a devoted mother of six, navigating the teenage years with her four hockey-playing sons. When she's not writing, Rebecca is either at the hockey rink, strumming her guitar, or indulging in her coffee obsession.

Yarros graduated from Troy University, where she studied European history and English. Her passion for music is evident, having attended college on a vocal scholarship and met her husband in a karaoke bar. Rebecca's creativity extends beyond writing; she once worked as a cake decorator, specializing in delightful flavors like white chocolate with raspberry mousse.

Rebecca and her family reside in Colorado, sharing their home with an eclectic mix of pets, including stubborn English bulldogs, energetic chinchillas, and a Maine Coon cat named Artemis. Together with her husband, she co-founded One October, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of foster children. This venture was inspired by their own experience of fostering and adopting their youngest daughter, who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum.

The Empyrean fantasy series is among her latest projects, with plans for a television adaptation by Amazon, where she will serve as a non-writing executive producer.
