Lucy Ivey grew up in Cincinnati. After her freshman year of college, she joined the military. After her enlistment in the Marine Corps, she went back to college and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Psychology while working as a counselor for a non-profit organization in California. After eight years with the organization, she moved with her family near the sweet-smelling town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Although she began writing stories during her teenage years, it wasn't until she moved to Pennsylvania that she completed her first novel. She is thankful for the two decades between start and finish because she credits the inspirations for her characters and plots to the people and experiences throughout her roller-coaster of a ride she calls life. Lucy has a Master's degree in Education and works as a high school counselor. She loves walking through cemeteries, binge reading, and chocolate cupcakes! She is also a wife, a mother, and has two cats.www.lucyivey.com
