Susan Dennard is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series (now in development for TV from the Jim Henson Company), and the Something Strange and Deadly series, in addition to various other fiction published online.

Before becoming an author, she got to travel the world 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 rolling the dice as a Dungeon Master or mashing buttons on one of her way too many consoles.

You can learn more about Susan on her website, blog, newsletter, Twitter, or Pinterest.

message 5: by Susan

Susan Yep! The title now SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY. :) I'm doing a big announcement tomorrow on my blog.

THE SPIRIT-HUNTERS was always just a working title, and I've been working with HarperCollins for a few months now to find the perfect official title. :) Finally, we settled on SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY as both catchy and commercial.


message 4: by Kendall Anne (last edited May 13, 2011 10:18AM)

Kendall Anne HI Susan! Does your book, The Spirit Hunters, have a new name now, Something Strange and Deadly? Just wondering...I was confused! =)


Erica (storybookend) Thanks for adding me as a friend! Your book looks really interesting!


message 2: by Susan

Susan Yeah, I saw that! Thanks!! I really appreciate you adding it. :D And, I hopehopehope you enjoy it!


Kathy (Kindle-aholic) The Spirit-Hunters looks like a lot of fun. It's on my list!
