Like many authors, Megan Crewe finds writing about herself much more difficult than making things up. A few definite facts: she lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and son (and does on occasion say “eh”), she’s always planning some new trip around the world, and she’s spent the last six years studying kung fu, so you should probably be nice to her. She has been making up stories about magic and spirits and other what ifs since before she knew how to write words on paper. These days the stories are just a lot longer.

Megan’s first novel, Give Up the Ghost (Henry Holt, 2009), was shortlisted for the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. Her second, The Way We Fall (Disney-Hyperion, 2012), was nominated for the White Pine Award and made the International Reading Association Young Adults’ Choices List. She is also the author of the rest of the Fallen World series (The Lives We Lost, The Worlds We Make, and Those Who Lived) and the Earth & Sky trilogy (Earth & Sky, The Clouded Sky, and A Sky Unbroken).
