Courtney "Court" Young is a hometown girl from Southeast Texas who loves to read and write paranormal and fantasy fiction for young and new adults. Musical theatre gives her the warm fuzzies along with ghost stories, urban legends, and anything composed by John Williams. She views her life as if it were a sitcom and secretly geeks out at the mention of George Lucas, Anne Rice, or JK Rowling. Courtney is a night owl with a day job and a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado. “After the Woods” is her debut novel.
