Skye Sullivan

Skye Sullivan lives in Los Angeles, but yearns for a magic wand to whisk her away to anywhere else. She studied creative writing at the University of California, but if they knew she'd one day be writing stories about witches solving murders with talking animals, the program director would have given her spot to someone else.

Her pecan pie literally won an award and one time in 1994 a magician picked her to come up on stage to be part of the trick, so she's pretty much perfectly qualified to be writing this stuff.

She's got two small kids, a husband, and a cat—and all the dishrags, overflowing laundry baskets, and legos to prove it.
