Maggie Hall is the author of Conspiracy of Us and Map of Fates. She indulges her obsession with distant lands and far-flung adventures as often as she can. She’s played with baby tigers in Thailand, learned to make homemade pasta in Italy, and taken trains through thousands of miles of India’s vibrant countryside. In her past life, she was a bookstore events coordinator and marketing manager, and when she's not on the other side of the world, she lives with her husband and their cats in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she watches USC football, dabbles in graphic design, and blogs about young adult literature for YA Misfits.
