Featured Indiana Authors:
Ellen Hopkins is a poet, former freelance journalist, and the award-winning author of twenty non-fiction books for children, fifteen NY Times bestselling young adult novels, two middle grade novels, and four novels for adult readers. She lives with her extended family and two labor-intensive German shepherds in southeastern Missouri, where she enjoys gardening, baking, hiking and, of course, writing.
Z Brewer is a NYT bestselling author whose books prove that monsters aren’t always what they seem—and sometimes, they’re the heroes. Best known for The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod and its spin-off The Slayer Chronicles, Z has also penned the YA fantasy Soulbound, as well as Cemetery Boys, The Blood Between Us, Madness, and Into The Real. When Z isn’t conjuring up vampires, Slayers, or other delightfully dark things, they’re traveling the country as an anti-bullying advocate, reminding audiences that weird is wonderful, different is powerful, and kindness is the sharpest weapon of all.
Larissa Ione traded in a career in meteorology to pursue her passion of writing. She has since published dozens of books, won numerous awards, and hit several bestseller lists, including the New York Times and USA Today. When she isn’t writing, she’s traveling overseas or in her RV, playing on her VR headset, or watching Big Bang Theory reruns. She believes in celebrating everything and would never be caught without a bottle of Champagne chilling in the fridge…just in case. She currently lives in Wisconsin with her retired U.S. Coast Guard husband, her son, and her very own rescued hellhounds, a Belgian Malinois named Duvel, and a Belgian Tervuren named Draak.
