Author Information: Brooke Taylor

Brooke Taylor lives and writes from her country home in Oklahoma where her pets are a constant, but happy, distraction. She doesn't remember a time when she didn't have a book on her bedside table or an idea for a story in her head and she fully admits to getting a little giddy at the sight of a floor-to-ceiling bookcase. When she’s not reading or writing, she enjoys horseback riding, going to the lake, and traveling.

On Fate, Family, & Secrets:

“I started UNDONE intending to write a book about fate and what happens when you start living the life you’ve always envied. As the characters started opening up and coming to life, UNDONE became much more than just a careful-what-you-wish-for novel. It also became a novel about friendship, family, and the secrets we keep from the people we are closest to. And there’s nothing more human (or fascinating!) than the need or desire to lead a secret life.”

On Friendship:

“For me, one of the most interesting facets of UNDONE is the intense friendship between the two teenage girls, Kori and Serena. Serena believes she knows Kori inside and out; but it is only when Serena loses Kori that she begins to learn about who her friend really is.”
