Alexandra Bracken (She/her/hers)

Captured Moments by Rita & Company

Alexandra Bracken was born in Phoenix, Arizona. The daughter of a Star Wars collector, she grew up going to an endless string of Star Wars conventions and toy fairs, which sparked her imagination and instilled a deep love of reading. She sold her first book, "Brightly Woven," as a senior in college, and later moved to New York City to work in childrens book publishing. She returned to Arizona to write full-time and lives in a house overflowing with books. Her new duology is "Silver in the Bone" and "The Mirror of Beasts."
