Gwenda writes books. Her work includes the Lois Lane series (Fallout, Double Down, and Triple Threat), which brings the iconic comic book character front and center in her own YA novels, and the Cirque American series (Girl on a Wire, graphic novel Girl Over Paris, and Girl in the Shadows), about daredevil heroines who discover magic and mystery lurking under the big top. She also co-writes the the Supernormal Sleuthing Service with her husband author Christopher Rowe. She created Dead Air, a serialized mystery and scripted podcast written with Carrie Ryan and Rachel Caine. Up next? Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds, a prequel to the hit series. She co-hosts the Cult Faves podcast about the strange world of cults and extreme belief.
She has also written for Publishers Weekly, Locus, and the Los Angeles Times, and the ReMade serial. She guest-edited a special YA issue of Subterranean Online (full of excellent stories, which you should go read), and she has been a guest on NPR’s Weekend Edition. She has an MFA in Writing from the Vermont College of Fine Arts’ program in writing for children and young adults. But readers of Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet may know her best as everyone’s Dear Aunt Gwenda.
