A.L. Zimmertree is an independent author of sci-fi and paranormal romance, with her debut novel scheduled for release in late 2026. She started writing her first book at nine years old when she fell in love with the escapism of storytelling, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. While wearing many hats as a writer, artist, and mental health professional she also describes herself as a proud Ohioan, devoted reader, casual gamer, chicken keeper, and Capricorn. When she’s not creating imaginary worlds or tending to her full-time job, she can be found reading, cuddling with her cat and dog, or playing video games with her husband.
