Susan Dennard is the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Luminaries trilogy, the Witchlands series, and many more books and tales beyond. Her stories have been translated into tens of languages all over the world.

Before becoming an author, she got to travel globally with her M.Sc. in marine biology. She also runs the popular newsletter for writers, the Misfits and Daydreamers. When not writing or teaching writing, she can be found playing dress up with her daughter or mashing buttons on one of her way too many consoles.
