L Maristatter holds a BA in journalism and an MA in communication. Her short story, \u201cCrying in the Sun,\u201d was published in The Saturday Evening Post online, and the web journal Defuncted published her poem, \u201cChild.\u201d  Maristatter is a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors, the Women\u2019s Fiction Writers Association, the Wisconsin Writers Association, the Author\u2019s Guild, and Realm Makers. She lives in the snowy Midwest, where she tries to stay warm, reads terrific fiction, and eats way too much chocolate. She\u2019s on Goodreads, Facebook, and Twitter regularly, and TikTok and Instagram when she\u2019s feeling brave.
