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-as well as the upcoming The Executioners Three. Her books have been translated into many 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 reading, playing with her toddler, or mashing buttons on one of her way too many consoles.
