About the Author
Susan Dennard has come a long way from small-town Georgia. With a masters degree in marine biology, she got to travel the world - six out of seven continents, to be exact (she'll get to Asia one of these days!) - before she settled down as a full-time novelist and writing instructor.
She is the author of the Something Strange and Deadly series (from HarperTeen) as well as the forthcoming Witchlands Series (Tor, 2015) . When not writing, she can be found hiking with her dogs, exploring tidal pools, or earning bruises at the dojo.
