Lucy Glass is an author, musician, and composer. She’s raised four children, three dogs, two cats, a horse, a rabbit, a ferret, and a rat named Vinnie, all with varying degrees of success.

She loves gallivanting around the world—in fact, her first story leaped into her head while sitting on the edge of a cliff in an Irish downpour while trying to catch her breath.

Lucy views life as a series of experiments and is a firm believer in trying, failing, then trying again. She blames it on her father, who completely forgot to teach her that there are things that just can’t be done.
