Unofficial Bio:

I was born in Austin, Texas on August 18, 1986 and grew up in Michigan. In the first few years of my life, my family bounced around several states until we finally settled in mid-Michigan. I was a Girl Scout who dabbled in gymnastics and volleyball until I discovered horseback riding and it quickly consumed my heart and soul. When I discovered the Goosebumps books in the third grade, I decided I wanted to be RL Stine when I grew up.

I own a horse (a Swedish warmblood mare named Pia) and my passion is hunter/jumpers. My other passion is photography, and if you don't see me on a horse, you will probably see me with a camera in my face. I collect 1980's My Little Ponies and Breyer model horses, own over 400 movies, love playing Pokemon and MarioKart, and dream about sneaking into the polar bear exhibit at the zoo some day.

When I was sixteen, I wrote a one-act play about violent vampires for my creative writing class that became my first novel. For NaNoWriMo in November 2008, I wrote ANGELFIRE and signed with literary agent Elizabeth Jote of Objective Entertainment in February of 2009. In November 2009, we sold the trilogy to Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. I am now represented by Rosemary Stimola of the Stimola Literary Studio.

Momo's Fan Bio aka What Momo Thinks of the Author:

Courtney Allison Moulton (CAM) is a super chill, relaxed, and real person that is really awesome to chit-chat with. I gush to her all the time about her books so hopefully I'm not too annoying or hopefully I don't sound like the same record on repeat. I don't know what it is about her Angelfire series that hooked me but I just love the books so freakin' much. That is an understatment...if you couldn't tell. I'm uber sad that the series is coming to an end; I don't know what I'm going to do with myself after book three comes out, I'll be lost - seriously. Anyway, I love CAM to death and she has made a die-hard fan out of me and I'll continue to read anything and everything she writes.
