Zeba Shahnaz (ZAY-ba shah-NAHZ) writes fantasy full of political intrigue, twisted romance, and a healthy dose of existential trauma. Her debut novel, MIDNIGHT STRIKES, is a YA fantasy with a time loop twist out in Spring 2023 from Delacorte Press. A proud Pakistani-American, she translated her love of storytelling into a graduate degree analyzing national identity in India. She splits her time between New Jersey, where she grew up, and Washington, D.C., where she works as a researcher.
