Lora Senf is a writer of dark and twisty stories for all ages. She is the author of The Clackity (a Bram Stoker Award Nominee), The Nighthouse Keeper, and The Loneliest Place and credits her love of words to her parents and to the public library that was walking distance from her childhood home. Lora finds inspiration for her writing in her children’s retellings of their dreams, on road trips through Montana, and most recently in an abandoned abattoir. She lives in Washington state with her husband, their twins, and two remarkably lazy cats. Visit her at LoraSenf.com. - (Simon and Schuster)
