Liana Gardner

Liana Gardner is a Bram Stoker Awards® Nominee and the multi-award-winning author of Speak No Evil, 7th Grade Revolution, The Journal of Angela Ashby, and the Katie McCabe Series. The daughter of a rocket scientist and an artist, Liana combines the traits of both into a quirky yet pragmatic writer and in everything sees the story lurking beneath the surface. A persistent daydreamer, Liana is often found listening to music and staring off into space, while talking with the characters in her head. She believes life is an adventure and should be embraced by jumping in with both feet when a new opportunity arises. Engaged in a battle against leukemia and lymphoma, Liana spends much of her time at home, but her imagination takes her wherever she wants to go. Most recently she was titled Lady of Lochaber and Glencoe and was honored with a star named after her in the Andromeda Constellation. Liana is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
