Author Bio

Madeline Boss is new to the life of a published author, and Sundered is her first published work. Always a fan of YA literature and poetry, and recently graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities, she hopes to use her writing to bring attention to important social issues and to better the lives of people everywhere.When she's not writing, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, traveling, practicing yoga, and sitting down with a good book while her cat, Tilly, tries to eat the pages. Sundered touches close to home, pulling from her personal relationship with a man incarcerated at the Michigan Department of Corrections. Though highly fictionalized, much of Sundered is inspired by their struggles.
