About Me

Mary Averling grew up across England and Canada, never far from the woods. She has degrees from the University of Victoria and Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge. Since she can't stay away from libraries for very long, she is currently working toward her PhD at Queen's University, Kingston. She lives surrounded by all the magical, spooky, heartfelt books she can find. THE CURSE OF EELGRASS BOG is her middle grade debut.

She is represented by Kelly Sonnack at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
