Gemma Webster was born and raised in Colorado. She lives in Longmont with her husband and darling beasts (two of them, they're huge--seriously). Gemma attended University of Colorado Boulder where she earned a BA in Italian Language and Literature, with a minor in Dance. She worked for ten years in a Children's Museum before taking the leap to focus on her writing (did I say she has a nice husband, it's true). 

Gemma reads everything, she particlulary enjoys smart fiction and literary genre benders. Her favorites writers include Scarlet Thomas, Margaret Atwood, Karen Russell, Jennifer Egan, Kelly Link, Daniel Woodrell, Angela Carter, Octavia Butler, Haruki Murakami, and Neil Gaiman. 

Gemma is a graduate of the Lighthouse Writers Workshop Book Project studying under the incredible Erika Krause.
