About the Author

J. T. Dutton was raised on a horse farm in Northwest Connecticut until attending Skidmore College. After receiving a BA in English and spending a little time not knowing what she wanted to do with her life, she later attended the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. She received an MFA in Fiction and wrote the first drafts of Freaked. I really enjoy writing YA because teens are so potential as characters--they are all about transformation. They feel "young" but seek "age" and they, by nature, think outside the box. I may have an adult novel in me somewhere, but for now, this is what I do.  Read more about how to book or contact J. T.
