Adina King is veteran English teacher from Maine. Aside from teaching high school and middle school, she has worked in book stores, played roller derby, and dabbled in dogsledding. She received her MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts, where she studied with A.M. Jenkins, A.S. King, Shelley Tanaka, and Martha Brockenbrough. When she isn’t writing or covered in dirt from Olympic yard work, her natural habitat includes one or more of the following: roller skates, dogs, mountains, chickadees, music, and really excellent food.
Adina longs for the day book censorship is no longer a thing. As a good friend and mentor once told her: “A good story is always going to piss someone off.”
