About the Author: Cay Templeton grew up in the small, country town of Middletown, Maryland. The quiet gave her time to think, to listen, and to wander. Between the woods she would trek with her brother and the town she would explore with her family, Cay developed a sense for things under the surface. As she grew up, she learned to recognize the different sides people take: rich versus poor, liberal versus conservative, and-after she moved out to Los Angeles-city versus country. Through her own investigation, and an ear for careful listening, she learned that there's never one side that has the full story. As people take sides, they miss out on other perspectives, and even lose track of things that could help them. Cay played many different sports, and to this day is a fiery competitor full of strong opinions. The sports also taught her to focus and be disciplined, which help her get her wild imaginings down on the page. These same qualities allowed her to first earn two BAs in Film and Theatre from Towson University in Baltimore, MD. Then she got accepted to Wilkes University, where she earned a MA in creative writing. Towards the end of her time there, her mentor helped her find the courage to move out to Los Angeles. A month after she graduated, she found herself working in the Production Office in D.C. on the film National Treasure 2, Book of Secrets. Once the film completed its filming there, she packed up her things and began her biggest journey across the country to Hollywood. To this day, Cay continues to work in film and television alongside her work as a novelist. The theme of missing perspectives runs through her signature Twisted Fairy Tale series: Reversal of Beauty, Gossip: The Evil Stepmother's Tale, and Stalked: The Conti Rose. In each story, she takes a classic fairy tale and tells it from an unheard perspective. With everything she does, Cay looks out for the other side of the story.
