N.C. Lewis
When author N. C. Lewis is not writing or reading, usually humor, horror, space, or Cozy, she can be found tinkering on a computer or on some social media sites, notably Facebook.

She lives and works in the hill country of Texas. It’s the event and wedding center capital of the entire state. There’s famous singers, actors, writers, and artists that are scattered around the hill country like confetti at a wedding. Lewis thought it’d be fun to write a story that mingles the hill country celebrities with international stars from California.

Lewis has been told that she’s great at making barbecue spare ribs and special fried rice.

She writes using a neo-AlphaSmart computer. She has several and takes them everywhere. The amazing thing is, you change the batteries once a year.
