Meet I. C. Cosmos
I. C. Cosmos loves storytelling and has long been fascinated by a deceptively simple question: Why do some people crumble under pressure, others become villains, and some rise to become their best selves?
Before turning to fiction, she worked as a business consultant and directed an expertise center for forensic psychiatry—an excellent training ground for creating fictional manipulators, power players, and villains.
I. C. and her husband live in Baltimore.
