Liberty Speidel Hardt is a Kansas City-based author who writes urban fantasy mysteries featuring characters so persistent they literally won't shut up until their stories hit the page. With 13 published titles and a voice that's equal parts solid, funny, and quirky, she combines supernatural elements with gritty crime-solving in stories that refuse to look away from darkness but always point toward hope. When she's not crafting plot twists, Liberty is an avid D&D player, knitter, Star Wars nerd, and busy mom who shares her chaotic creative household with her author husband Joshua, a rowdy cat, and an equally rowdy dog.
