Gretchen Powell Fox

Gretchen Powell Fox grew up with her head in the clouds and her nose buried in books. Now, she crafts fantastical stories, along with the fiery heroes destined to change them for the better. Her creative process involves sleeping fitfully and consuming copious amounts of Sour Patch Kids. You can usually find her crying when she’s happy, sad, mad, or excited; singing along to Taylor Swift; eating xiao long bao; or strumming her ukelele. Gretchen lives in northern Virginia with her husband and two wild, wonderful children. Visit her online at GretchenPowellFox.com and follow her @GretchenWritesBooks.
