N. S. Streets writes dark fairy tales for readers who never stopped believing in the space under the bed. He spent twenty years writing in the quiet hours?the time between midnight and dawn when the stories come alive. Now, at forty, he's keeping a promise to someone he loved: to stop writing in the dark and start sharing the light. He lives in the Midwest with his wife, three children, and fourteen cats?thirteen black ones named after his favorite authors, and a tabby named Bobby Singer who sits on his shoulders while he writes.
