Misty Hayes has always had a thing for escaping headfirst into fantastical books. This is what led her to start writing her own adventures down. As someone who has spent a long career in law enforcement, Misty loves strong female protagonists. She also directs short films and claims to have been bitten by the traveling bug (not mistaken for a radioactive spider).

When Misty isn't filming, roaming the planet, or diving into another novel, she's spending time at home in Texas with her myriad nieces and nephews.

The Blood Dagger Series is a multiple award-winning high-octane Young Adult Paranormal trilogy.
