Marta Acosta lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.  She was a feral reader, roaming the stacks of the public library. She received a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from Stanford University and has written for the San Francisco Chronicle, the Contra Costa Times, and Spaces Magazine. Her Casa Dracula book series is published by Simon & Schuster.

Marta lives with her husband and son and their crazy dog. An avid gardener, she likes independent films, funny novels, loud music and lively conversations. She's always happy to hear from readers, even the ones who point out typos.
