Broke Bones

Lauretta Hignett is a raving fangirl for all things paranormal, supernatural, magical, and fantastical. She writes fun, fast-paced urban fantasy-unique, kick-ass characters and madcap adventures with a dash of romance and loads of laughs. She's a massive fan of anything shifter, witch, or vampire, she loves a plot twist, hates cliffhangers, and always keeps her readers on their toes. When she's not writing, Lauretta enjoys crazy fad diets, sunshine, her two little children, weird craft projects, and massive amounts of dark chocolate. You'll often find her staring into space or muttering to herself in weird voices. Just ignore her. She'll come back to reality eventually.
