Judy I. Lin was born in Taiwan and immigrated to Canada with her family at
a young age. She grew up with her nose in a book and loved to escape to imaginary
worlds. She now works as an occupational therapist and still spends her nights
dreaming up imaginary worlds of her own. She lives on the Canadian prairies with
her husband, daughter and elderly cat. A Magic Steeped in Poison is her debut
novel.
