Susan Dennard has come a long way from small-town Georgia. As a marine biologist, 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 as well as the WITCHLANDS series from Tor, whose first book TRUTHWITCH debuted as a New York Times bestseller. When not writing, she can be found hiking with her dogs, exploring tidal pools, or practicing her tap dance shuffles.
