A homeschool kid until age twelve, Jennifer Mason-Black came to daydreaming early in life and has yet to find a compelling reason to quit the habit. She’s checked for portals in every closet she’s ever encountered and has rarely sat beneath the stars without watching for UFOs. A fluency in the language of imaginary friends led her to a life devoted to fiction, as a reader and a writer both.
She currently lives and writes in Massachusetts in a place where there are far more trees than people and foxes dance with owls on midwinter nights. Her biggest accomplishment may well be her catalog of the bumble bee and moth populations sharing their land with her (and that one spring peeper who always waits in the milkweed for Jen’s nocturnal mothing expeditions). But for the purposes of this bio, let’s also point out that she’s the author of Devil and the Bluebird (Abrams/Amulet, 2016) and Sometimes the Girl (Lerner/Carolrhoda Lab, 2025), as well as a baker’s dozen of published short stories.
