Biography
Nadia l'Montelle was born and raised in a small town in Arkansas. She is just starting her career as an author, balancing school and writing until the usual education isn't a problem anymore and her writing experience can become her learning experience. Nadia has four fat, sassy cats and one adorable Chihuahua that keep her laughing when the inspiration isn't coming fast.
Obsessed with gardens and reading, l'Montelle divides her time between studying writing styles and planting seeds that soon become unknown flowers, as she plants and has no idea what she is planting. In the summer she can be found on the backyard swing admiring the blue of the sky or lounging in her hammock, but when the leaves turn orange, she hibernates with the bears, wrapped up tight in dystopian novels. She fills every space possible with something, anything green. Her favorite tropical plants are orchids--any kind--but will settle for anything, even if it is on it's deathbed (she has been known to revive several crunchy plants).
She enjoys hiking, swimming, and riding in old jeeps with the wind throwing around her hair. Sweet iced Lousianne tea, or coffee, is constantly in hand as she goes about her day. She helps out in her family's store when she can, driving everyone nuts with her OCDness. Er, CDO.

Favorite Quotes
A room without books is like a body without a soul. I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you...don't deserve me at my best. |
