C.M. Skyward lives in Austin, TX, but dwells among the sun, desert sands, and blue skies of New Mexico in her soul. She has two dogs, Firefly and SnowCloud, who will undoubtedly show up in the next novel to battle the Giants. She has two children, Josh and Charis, who have always been the light of her life. Josh was taken far too soon, so she and Charis continue to navigate this world without him, looking forward to when they can see him again. C.M. Skyward hopes you find escape in the beauty of Giantopia and that those who need to fight the Giants in their lives will find encouragement to do so. (a.k.a. Caryn Moya)
