About the Author

Marisa Arancibia is a Digital Content Librarian on OverDrive's Global Libraries and Education team. She loves curating collections of favorite reads and discussing nerdy lore and fan theories with her fellow book people. When she's not working, she can be found reading thriller and fantasy novels, traveling, and playing with her goofy rescue dog, Swarley.

Annie Suhy has been working in the book industry since 2006. When she’s not working, practicing yoga, or petting cats, she’s doing paint-by-numbers and buying more plants. An avid poetry fan, her favorite collection is "The Splinter Factory" by Jeffrey McDaniel.
