"Thoughtful portrayals of queer teens navigating small-town politics emerge as a standout strength of this unsettling M**der mystery." ―Publishers Weekly

is a Pushcart-nominated writer and graphic novelist. Their debut, People Like Us, was shortlisted for the 2019 ITW Thriller Award for Best Young Adult Novel and is an ALA Rainbow List Selection. Dana’s sophomore novel, Summer's Edge, was a New York Public Library Best Books for Teens title.

Jennifer Dugan is a writer, a geek, and a romantic who writes the kinds of stories she wishes she’d had growing up. She’s the author of the graphic novels Coven and Full Shift, as well as the young adult novels Summer Girls, Playing for Keeps, The Last Girls Standing, Melt With You, Some Girls Do, Verona Comics, and Hot Dog Girl, which was called “a great, fizzy rom-com” by Entertainment Weekly and “one of the best reads of the year, hands down” by Paste magazine. She lives in upstate New York with her family, their dog, a strange kitten who enjoys wearing sweaters, and an evil cat who is no doubt planning to take over the world.
