About meA.S. King is the author of PLEASE IGNORE VERA DIETZ, Michael L. Printz Honor Award Book, described as “deeply suspenseful and profoundly human” in a starred Publishers Weekly review, and picked as one of Kirkus Reviews’ Best Contemporary Novels for Teens 2010. Her debut novel, THE DUST OF 100 DOGS won several awards including making the American Library Association’s Best Books for Young Adults list. King’s work has been described as teen fiction that “trumps similar novels for adults.”

Recently returned from Ireland, where she spent a decade dividing herself between self-sufficiency, breeding rare poultry, teaching literacy, and writing novels, King now lives deep in the Pennsylvania woods with her husband and children. Her short fiction has appeared in a lot of great journals and has been nominated for Best New American Voices. Her next YA novel, EVERYBODY SEES THE ANTS, will come in Fall 2011.
