Annie O'Connell is a busy mom of four boys, a Family Physician in New York City, and now the author of The Lunar Codex, Book One of the Codex Chronicles.

Wanting to take a break from the real world, she would immerse herself in fantasy genre audiobooks while on long road trips with her 16-year-old son. Ultimately, this passion would lead to creating her lead character, Jace Northall, and his journey to discover who he truly is.

When she is not saving lives or creating drama for poor Jace, she enjoys traveling with her family, listening to audiobooks, watching cheesy Rom-Coms, and crocheting lopsided blankets
