Katie Zhao

Katie Zhao is the author of the young-adult thriller How We Fall Apart as well as the middle-grade fantasy The Dragon Warrior and its sequel, The Fallen Hero. She grew up in Michigan, where there was little for her to do besides bury her nose in a good book or a writing journal. She graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in English and a minor in political science; she also completed her master's in accounting there. In her spare time, Katie enjoys reading, singing, dancing (badly) and checking out new photo-worthy restaurants. www.katiezhao.com @ktzhaoauthor
