Abbie M. Payne

Abbie Payne (she/her) is the indie young adult fantasy and science fiction author of works such as The Secret Two, America Gone, Call Her Captain, and Curse of Olympus. She fell in love with writing at eleven years old, and since then, she has been dedicated to writing books that help people feel like they’re a little less alone. She’s often writing about found families, people who walk on the road less traveled, and - as one disgruntled stranger on Instagram once put it - destroying the concept of traditional femininity, one word at a time. Abbie grew up right outside of Houston, Texas where she fought through dark moments and many sleepless nights that now deeply inspire her works. She is a college student who plans to eventually get a PhD in history. She currently lives there with her grandmother, mother, and retired service dog, Yoda, while obsessing over Greek mythology, crystals, and yelling about why she wasn’t told about some historical figure or another.
