As a child, Jennifer Nielsen rode bicycles no-handed, cliff jumped, was the entire outfield on a three-person baseball team, and climbed trees with power lines running through them (that fortunately, she never touched). She somehow became a semi-responsible adult who now only writes about reckless young heroes. She is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of The Traitor’s Game, The Ascendance Trilogy, the Mark of the Thief series, Resistance, A Night Divided, and other titles. A Night Divided is a Sasquatch Award nominated title this year. Jennifer lives in northern Utah with her husband, three kids, a dog that won’t play fetch, and most recently, a cat that hallucinates.
