Anna Bright is the author of HarperTeen YA novels The BeholderThe BoundlessThe Song That Moves the Sun, and most recently in 2024, The Hedgewitch of Foxhall. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews praised The Hedgewitch of Foxhall: "This comforting and cozy fantastical romance bursting with Welsh mythology [is] an atmospheric jewel box with sympathetic characters readers will root for from the first page." When not writing or working as an indie bookseller, Anna loves concerts, roller coasters, and adventures at home and abroad. Anna lives with her family in a charming corner of Washington, DC, but you can find her online at www.annabrightbooks.com.
