Susan Dennard is the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Luminaries trilogy, the Witchlands series (now in development for TV from the Jim Henson Company), and the Something Strange and Deadly series. Before becoming an author, she got to travel the world with her masters in marine biology. Now, when not writing or teaching writing, she can be found reading, playing with her daughter, or mashing buttons on one of her way too many consoles.
