Joanna Ruth Meyer is the author of the Amazon-bestselling While the Dark Remains and its sequel When the Light Returns, as well as the critically acclaimed YA fantasies Echo North and Into the Heartless Wood.

She lives in Mesa, AZ, with her husband, son, two orange cats, and a giant grand piano named Prince Imrahil. Joanna loves forests and rainstorms and stories that make her feel things, and in all likelihood, she’s drinking tea right now.
