About the author

Lea Grover began publishing her writing career when she was nine years old, with the publication of a poem inspired by Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain.” Through adolescence, she was routinely included in poetry and literary journals and began studying prose after beginning college at fourteen. While following her polymath interests through seven universities and several years of national service, she continued to write and publish poetry and short stories.
In 2010 she began a parenting blog, Becoming SuperMommy. Now Lea freelances for The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Scary Mommy, and the sundry corners of the internet. In addition to writing, she is a book coach and public speaker, using her voice as a member of the RAINN Speakers Bureau, and speaking about sex positivity.
