Genta Sebastian

Genta Sebastian runs with scissors, laughs without shame, sometimes writes naked, and dreams big. She started life as a child, and against her own advice swiftly attained adulthood. Full grown adulting, however, proved to lie just outside her skill set, and a bit beyond her ken.

Instead, she's enjoyed being an elementary school teacher, crochet artiste, amateur community theater player, master teacher, criminally wicked cookie baker, professional storyteller, Christmas stocking needle-pointer, an okay parent, cool grandparent, and epic great-grandparent. And along the way she also found time to become a published, award-winning, 'best-selling' author. Riding the Rainbow, her debut novel, won the 2015 Golden Crown Literary Award for YA Literature and, aptly enough, the 2015 YA Lit Rainbow Award.
