Sonya Bateman
Sonya Bateman is an award-winning copywriter and novelist, a mid-eighties to late-nineties fantasy movie enthusiast, coffee hoarder, and collector of cool rocks who spent a not-insignificant portion of her childhood climbing trees in order to read books in peace.
Sonya grew up in Central New York, where the seasons are Winter and Road Construction and “not the city” is officially part of everyone’s address. She has been writing professionally for more than 15 years. She currently lives in a big house in a little city, still in Central New York (not the city), with her husband, son, and feline overlords.
She writes twisty, shocking psychological fiction that may leave you suspicious of your friends and neighbors—and sleeping with the lights on.
