Chelsea Scott lives in a patch of Northern Virginia forest with her husband, two kids, a former street dog who thinks she’s a cat, and a bouncy golden retriever mix. She writes young adult and middle grade works brimming with magic and self-discovery. In those rare moments she isn’t writing, she’s either homeschooling her youngest, cooking savory meals, or collecting as much Halloween decor as her family will tolerate.
