About the Author
Gilly grew up in Florida, came of age in Israel, where she served in the IDF and graduated from Hebrew University, and finally decided to call Decatur, Georgia home. By day, she's a lawyer for an advertising agency. By night, she is a caped crusader! No, just kidding (she wishes) . Her real not-actually-secret identity is writer. She's been writing in one form or another since she wrote her first young adult novel - a Sunfire YA romance fanfic - typed out on an electric typewriter. Although she will confess it was titled CLAUDIA, she will neither confirm nor deny that any copies still exist. Whatever you do, don't ask her mom if it's in those boxes still stored in the closet of her childhood room. When Gilly's not reading and writing, she can be found exploring Decatur with her three kids and searching bakeries the world over for the perfect French macaron. Her favorite so far is rose lychee. Her debut young adult novel, I'm Not Dying With You Tonight, co-written with Kimberly Jones, will be published by Sourcebooks Fire, with an anticipated release date of October 1, 2019. She is represented by Tracey Adams of Adams Literary.
