Ava Dellaira is a writer born in Los Angeles, California. 

One of his earliest memories is to be staring out the window of the Cadillac

 that his family was driving through the desert when they moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico,

 where he grew up. The first time she wrote was in second grade, where she was assigned to write 

a poem about the things she liked and why. He attended the University of Chicago and then received

 his MFA (Master of Fine Arts). He later moved to Iowa where he finally graduated, then moved to 

Los Angeles with the good fortune of getting to work for Stephen Cbosky. Stephen told him one day 

that he should publish a novel, and on the night of that day, Love Letters to the Dead came to mind 

and he began to write it.
