D.C. Corso, a Bay Area native, began life reading Nancy Drew books and writing stories featuring her sister’s cat, Fonzie. She likes to think she has become more discriminating over the years in both reading and writing material. While working at a law firm and going to college, she interned at The Nose magazine, and then later worked in PR for the animators of Colossal Pictures.  After much practice over the years--not to mention blood, sweat and tears (well, late nights, anyway)--she produced Skin and Bones, her debut novel. She now lives with her husband, Michael, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
