ⓘ About L. T. Vargus
Author L. T. Vargus grew up in a town called Hell, Michigan; it is not as big, or loud, or fiery as you might think it would be. When she is not typing away on a keyboard, she is thinking about food, watching television (as her brain slowly rots), and sewing. She lives with her writing partner and special male friend, Tim McBain. They have published some stand alone work and a few series together. They live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. By the way, the “L” in her name stands for Lex. At first, the books were only published under this name (L. T. Vargus), and then later re-released with both of their names on the cover. When writing, one of the two will be inspired by something, and the two will work on outlining it together. The one that is inspired takes the lead.
