Becky Dean is a fan of adventures both real and fictional. When she’s not writing or traveling, she can be found drinking tea, watching science fiction shows or Jane Austen adaptations, or quoting The Lord of the Rings. Though she’s a proud Baylor grad and lives in Texas with her husband and daughter, she remains a Southern California girl at heart. She is the author of four young adult contemporary romance novels, and under the name B.L. Dean, she is the award-winning author of the Shades of Starlight science fiction series.
