My name is L.A. Cadieux, I'm a YA/New Adult writer and social media-aholic born in Lac La Biche, Alberta, living in Calgary, Canada. Since childhood I've been mesmerized by stories of fairy tales, knights, Greek and Roman mythology and comic book heroes. Naturally, I wanted to create my own worlds/characters and set off on a long quest to write fantasy novels. Creative, yet business minded, I went on to earn a Degree in Management from the University of Alberta Augustana, specializing in Business Economics. I'm a Project Manager by day (in IT) and by night I work on my stories. After shelving some of my earlier manuscripts I decided to focus on ONE LIFE, the first in a series of Teddy Owens Stories. As a proud mom of two, I spend my days and nights multi-tasking. Random facts: Tim Hortons coffee and ketchup chips are my vices. I'm also a fan of the HBO and CW Networks. My favorite book is Jane Austen's PRIDE & PREJUDICE.
