ANI BRANDT is a former junior journalist and cartoonist for Mitteldeutsche Zeitung and has written articles for every school publication she could get her hands on. With an extended background in professional photography, theater and pushing-deadlines-to-their-limit, formerly known as American Literature Studies, she has been wrapped up in the creative arts ever since she was old enough to realize that Sharpies do well on wallpaper.

Completely unbeknownst to the NYT bestseller list or esteemed circles of fiction writers, she has been relentlessly at work, creating a vast science-fiction universe, which she keeps rebooting every ten years or so to keep things fresh and frustrating. While she wouldn't last a day in her own novels, readers can expect an action-packed version of Friends meets Scandal.
