Talia Shepstone writes the stories she wants to read: immersive page-turners with underdog heroines, complicated men, and hard-earned happily-ever-afters where nobody has to choose. When she isn't writing, she's probably complicating her own life with a new hobby, a convoluted recipe, or corralling her children and pets. Talia lives in Ontario, Canada, with chronic pain and a stubborn belief that fiction can change the world.
