zlib_text: ABOUT THE AUTHORS
  
  
  Ilona Andrews is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a
  native-born Russian, and Andrew is a former communications sergeant in the
  U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Andrew was never an intelligence
  officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy
  who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona
  got a better grade. (Andrew is still sore about that.) Together, Andrew and
  Ilona are the coauthors of the _New York Times_ bestselling Kate Daniels urban
  fantasy series and the romantic urban fantasy novels of the Edge. They
  currently reside in Austin, Texas, with their two children and numerous pets.

  At the core, _Gunmetal Magic_ is a book about a deeply damaged person finding
  her place in life, and in the beginning stages, it was also a very damaged
  book in need of help.
