**Seanan McGuire *lives and works in Washington State, where she shares her somewhat idiosyncratic home with her collection of books, creepy dolls, and enormous blue cats. When not writing--which is fairly rare--she enjoys travel, and can regularly be found any place where there are cornfields, haunted houses, or frogs. A Campbell, Hugo, and Nebula award-winning author, McGuire released her first book, Rosemary and Rue * (the beginning of the October Daye series), in 2009, with more than twenty books across various series following since. She doesn't sleep much.
