Susan J. Morris is a fantasy author and editor, best known for a writing advice column featured on Amazon’s blog (which TIME magazine online once called “clever,” and which she henceforth has never let anyone forget), and her work editing Forgotten Realms novels. She is also the author of a middle-grade series of practical guides to fantastical things, the most recent of which is A Practical Guide to Dragon Magic, and designed D&D for Kids. Whenever she is able, Susan delights in running work shops for Clarion West and in moderating panels for writing symposiums. Strange Beasts is her debut novel.
