Alive (40 page)

To my parents, for instilling in me a love of books that has lasted a lifetime and for always being my biggest fans.

And lastly, to my husband Rob: For taking on more than your fair share of our daily challenges so that I can pursue my dream, but also for always being the one to pry my fingers from the
keyboard when I’m clearly in need of a break. You are my favorite person in the world and I couldn’t accomplish anything without you.

CHANDLER BAKER
got her start ghostwriting novels for teens and tweens before turning to her own stories. She grew up in Florida, went to college
in Pennsylvania, and studied law in Texas, where she now lives with her husband. Although she loves spinning tales with a touch of horror, she is a much bigger scaredy-cat than her stories would
lead you to believe. You can visit her online at
