Roshani Chokshi (www.roshanichokshi.com) is the author of the instant New York Times best-selling Aru Shah quintet. She also wrote the New York Times best-selling Star-Touched and Gilded Wolves series for YA readers, and The Last Tale of the Flower Bride for adults. Her next middle grade novel is The Spirit Glass, based on Filipino mythology. Rosh studied fairy tales in college and went to law school before she decided to pursue writing full-time. The Aru Shah books were inspired by the stories her grandmother told her as well as Roshani's all-consuming love for Sailor Moon. She lives in Georgia and says "y'all," but she doesn't really have a Southern accent. Follow her adventures on Instagram @roshanichokshi. - (Grand Central Pub)
