L.S. Kudzin has loved books for as long as she can remember. As a child, she fell into stories with abandon. However, there was one thing missing from many of her favorites, and that was diversity. She longed to see herself in the characters that she so avidly read about, as oftentimes, the heroes were not people of color. Each new story opened a world of adventure for her, and she is honored to have the opportunity to bring that same joy to others. She lives in Ohio with her husband, poodle Laurent, and a cat named Fancy.
