L.M. Morrison was born in Toledo, Ohio, but by age 18, she`d lived in more than 20 different houses, 7 towns, and 2 countries. After receiving her Bachelor`s degree, she volunteered in the Peace Corps and also taught English in France. She speaks French and Shikomori semi-fluently, but her fellow Floridians prefer when she speaks in English.

When she isn`t writing, reading, or traveling, she is passionate about teaching and encouraging young writers.
