About
N.E. Townsend believes in “Lolly Endings,” her mother’s term for stories that are a rickety rollercoaster of chuckles, gasps, at least one stint on the floor in the fetal position, yet always conclude with a feet-kicking and a smile. A shameless fangirl, she spends her off hours overthinking a sentence, testing recipes, or falling in love with a new fictional character.
She lives well bundled in Canada with her husband, daughter and two furry hellions.
