Kim Smejkal writes fantasy for young adults and not-so-young adults, always with a touch of magic. Her books include The Dandelion Riots (Pushkin Press, 2025), Ink in the Blood (Clarion Books, 2020) and Curse of the Divine (Clarion Books, 2021). When she’s not writing, she’s often lost in the woods, wandering a beach, or puttering around in her garden, and she currently lives on Vancouver Island in Canada with her family and anxious dog, Pigeon. She is represented by Daniel Lazar of Writers House.
