Hope Zane lives and works in Oakland, California, which she swears isn't as bad as the news makes it sound. Her poetry has been featured in the 2010 issue of Humble Pie, California College of the Arts' literary journal.

When she isn't writing, she's working as a pastry cook, volunteering at her local animal shelter, and plotting trips to new destinations. When she is writing, you can probably find her in a bar, pretending she's Jack London.
