Lexi Heuser was raised on a ranch in a tiny cow town in Colorado. She fell in love with reading in second grade, and now crafts adventurous young adult and middle grade fantasy novels with western flair and plenty of animal sidekicks. When she's not working her day job, you’ll find her astride a horse, performing or teaching trick riding. Her favorite way to spend an afternoon is chasing cows or hanging off her horse upside down.
