Laura Ruby
Laura Ruby is the author of nine books for adults and children and has a degree in English Literature from Rutgers University. While her 4 children’s novels from 2006 onwards have always combined fantasy and mystery, her 3 young adult novels during this time were more heavily rooted in the contemporary (i.e. realist) genre. Following the publication of Bone Gap to critical acclaim, she released another children’s novel called York. She is on the faculty of Hamline University's Masters in Writing for Children Program in Minnesota. She grew up in New Jersey, and now lives in Chicago with her husband and cats.
