Darby Karchut

Award-winning author Darby Karchut has long been fascinated by mythologies and hero stories from around the world. She attended the University of New Mexico, graduating with a degree in anthropology. After moving to Colorado, she then earned a master’s in education and became a social studies teacher.

Drawing from her extensive knowledge of world cultures, she blends ancient myths with modern urban life to write stories that relate to young teens today. Snark and all.

She currently lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with her husband, where she still teaches at a local junior high school. She enjoys running, biking, and skiing the Rocky Mountains in all types of weather, and owns more backpacks than purses. As she should. Finn Finnegan is her third novel.

Finn Finnegan will be released in March of 2013.
