Jillian Kuhlmann spent her formative years feeding her overactive imagination with *The X-Files* and *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. Writing stories with her best friend during her adolescence was preferable to admitting that there wasn’t any such thing as fairies or actually mustering up the courage to talk to boys.
THE HIDDEN ICON is her first novel. The sequel, THE DREAD GODDESS, is due out in February of 2017.
