Colette Sewall is an award-winning writer who spent the majority of her life as a dancer and studio director. Since she has also worked as a medical assistant, flight attendant, actor, and artist, she believes she is like a cat with nine lives. She is a direct descendent of one of the judges who presided over the infamous Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692, which can be a bit awkward when she runs into a descendent of one of the accused witches. She lives on the eastern end of Long Island with her husband and psychic German shepherd, Gracey, and is in desperate need of more bookshelves. When she is not writing middle grade or young adult novels, she is probably perusing one of her favorite libraries or used bookstores. She is a member of the Society of Children Book Writers and Illustrators and is represented by Britt Siess of Martin Literary Management.
