Misty Hayes

Misty Hayes has always had a thing for escaping headfirst into fantastical books. This is what led her to start writing her own adventures down. As someone who has spent a long career in law enforcement, Misty has a love for strong female protagonists. Misty also loves to create characters who possess spirit, wit, fire, and humor. She also directs short films and claims to have been bitten by the traveling bug (not to be mistaken for a radioactive spider). \n\nMisty is a bestselling Young Adult fantasy author with three published novels in The Blood Dagger trilogy. THE OUTCASTS has received recognition for: Literary Titan award, IndieBRAG Medallion, 2018 solo medalist of the New Apple Literary Awards in YA Fantasy, and 2019 2nd place winner of the North Texas Book Festival in YA Fantasy. \n\nWhen Misty isn't filming or roaming the planet, or diving into another novel, she's spending time at home in Texas with her myriad of nieces and nephews in tow. \n\nFollow Misty at MistyHayesAuthor.com for more information on her series.
