Perspective

Priest is a Florida native, born in Tampa in 1975.[1] She graduated from Forest Lake Academy, a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school in Apopka, Florida in 1993. She moved around quite a bit as a child of an Army father, living in many places such as Florida, Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. She moved around regularly until college. In 1998 she graduated with a B.A. from Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, Tennessee, and in 2001 she left the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with an M.A. in Rhetoric/Professional writing.[1]

Priest lived in Chattanooga for twelve years and it is there she both set her Eden Moore series and wrote the first two books.[2] In May 2012, she and her husband Aric Annear[1] moved back to Tennessee from Seattle, Washington. In 2017, she returned to live in Seattle.

Although Priest was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church, she has no further contact with the church and claims no religious affiliation.[3][4]

In addition to her novels, Priest was a reviewer for the Bram Stoker Award-winning website Chiaroscuro and currently is a staff member of Subterranean Press. She is a regular attendee and panelist at DragonCon and several other genre conventions around the country such as Penguicon and Steamcon. She is also known for giving talks and writing articles about the hobby of urban exploration.[5]
