April Daniels graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in literature. She completed her first manuscript by scribbling a few sentences at a time between calls while working in the customer support department for a well-known video game console. She has a number of hobbies, most of which are boring and predictable. As nostalgia for the 1990s comes into its full bloom, she has become ever more convinced that she was born two or three years too late and missed all the good stuff the first time around. Daniels' Nemesis series has been recognized by the 2018 Amelia Bloomer List, NYPL's Best Books for Teens 2017, and the Queer Books for Teens "Best Books with Trans Characters" 2018.
