Maja Brajko-Livaković rođena je u travnju 1959. godine.Djetinjstvo je, kako sama voli reći, prohodala, proplivala i izmaštala u prekrasnom Bolu na otoku Braču, gdje je završila osnovnu školu i gimnaziju. U Zagrebu je diplomirala na Filozofskom fakultetu. Tek 1995. počinje objavljivati. Fascinirana je čudom prirode, svemirom i svrhom čovjeka na putu ka vječnosti. Stoga u svojim romanima i pričama piše o prirodi i njezinom očuvanju i o problemima odrastanja mladeži u mreži suvremenih zavodljivosti svijeta. Ona otvara mnoge tabu teme. Prva je u našoj književnosti za djecu i mlade progovorila o problemu droge (Kad pobijedi ljubav) i o „bijelom roblju“ (Nemoj reći nikome).

What began as silly stories about superheroes and villains—or gifted humans with unique powers—eventually turned into adventurous stories with complicated characters that aren't truly good or evil. With the personality of a grandma, she loves to listen to Fleetwood Mac, draw, sit on her porch, and hang around family. Lost Souls is her first novel.
