Roseanne A. Brown (she/her)was born in Kumasi, Ghana, and immigrated to the wild jungles of central Maryland as a child. Writing was her first love, and she knew from a young age that she wanted to use the power of words to connect the different cultures she called home. She worked as an assistant teacher, journalist, and editorial intern before writing two young adult novels, a Black Panther graphic novel, and the prequel to this book, Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2022. Rosie currently lives outside Washington, D.C., where she can usually be found valiantly attempting new yoga positions or failing to protect her socks from her dog. She is only a little bit convinced that most actors are secretly vampires. Follow her on Instagram @RosiesRambles.
"Praise for Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting: *""This textured, richly mythological story will keep the pages turning as readers are drawn into Serwa's world. A superb, action-packed series starter.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *""Via Serwa’s savvy narration, Brown melds Ghanian folklore, smart action, thoughtful commentary about liminal spaces, and a healthy dose of tween hijinks, making for an exhilarating introduction to Serwa Boateng’s magic-filled world.""—Publishers Weekly (starred review) *""Brown’s middle-grade debut is an action-packed, Ghanaian-influenced contemporary fantasy that explores the bonds of family, friendship, and what happens when you don’t know (or are kept from) your own history.""—Booklist (starred review) ""Rosie writes her characters with such lyrical power, wit, and empathy that you can't help falling in love with Serwa Boateng, her family, and her friends.""—Rick Riordan, New York Times best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series"
