Logan Karlie grew up in a rural Midwest town in the United States. She studied literature and creative writing at the University of Arkansas, where she completed an MA in English Literature. Logan loves writing stories for the upper-YA / adult crossover space, and she enjoys books brimming with gothic themes, atmospheric worlds, and characters who fight to overcome the darkness that haunts them. She currently lives in Illinois with her family where she taught high school English, and when she's not writing she's likely perusing antique stores, playing fantasy video games, or watching The Phantom of the Opera for the hundredth time. She invites you to visit her online @authorlogankarlie (Instagram) and @myluciddreaming (TikTok).
