How to Hide in Plain Sight - Emma Noyes

Emma Noyes told her mother she wanted to be an author when she was six. She grew up in a suburb outside Chicago and attended Harvard University, where shestudied history and literature. She started her career at a beer company, but left because she wanted to write about mermaids and witches--eventually publishing her first YA fantasy series, the Sunken City. She now lives in Chicago with her Swedish boyfriend and miniature Pomeranian.
