Penelope Bloom is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. After years of contemporary romance, they're trading meet-cutes for magical academies and coffee shops for castles that reek of blood. They promise the banter is just as sharp, but now it comes with deadly consequences.

When not crafting happily-ever-afters or dodging deadline dragons, you'll find them hiking mountain trails, conquering walls at the local climbing gym, or hunting down the perfect pizza slice. They live in Colorado with their two daughters and three furry co-authors (who offer questionable writing advice but excellent moral support).
