Author Notes:	Autumn Krause was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her grandfather, his three siblings, and her great-grandmother were interned at Gila River Camp in Arizona during WWII, while her great-grandfather fought in the 442nd, the only all-Japanese regimental combat team. She writes: " The internment was knit into my life, a deep injustice never talked about with any theatrics, but always present, a memory living beyond the confines of its dates to form the backdrop of mine. " Autumn lives in Orange County, California, with her husband and children. She is a critically acclaimed author of Before the Devil Knows You're Here , an Amazon and Kirkus Best Book of the Year.
