About the Author

Shannon’s mother says she was a storyteller from birth, jabbering endlessly in her carriage as the two strolled through the neighborhood; once she could form complete sentences, she made up stories, bribing her younger siblings to perform them in mini plays. When she was ten, she began writing books, mostly fantasy stories where she was the heroine, and she continued writing secretly for years while pursuing acting in stage and improv comedy. After detours studying in Mexico, the U. K., and Paraguay, Shannon earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Utah and a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Montana. In the interim, she submitted short stories and novels to magazines and publishers, saving all her rejection letters which she has since laminated into one continuous 60-foot roll which she proudly unfurls to audiences as a testament to her dedication and determination.

Since the publication of her first book, The Goose Girl, in 2003, Shannon has become a beloved author to young readers as well as booksellers and educators. Her third novel, Princess Academy, earned her a Newbery Honor and is a The New York Times, Book Sense, and Publishers Weekly bestseller. Shannon has also written two books for adults, Austenland and The Actor and the Housewife. Shannon lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband, Dean, their children, and their pet, a small plastic pig.

I read this series of 3 in less than a week (and bought Shannon's 4th book the next day). I have a 2 yr old son and hope someday he will enjoy these as much as I did. And if I have a girl, I know she will. The books were just the right amount of "paranormal" and adventure and "romance" that anyone would find it hard to put them down. I knew Shannon Hale would not disappoint.

If you haven't read any of her books and are a bit leery of buying all 3 in a set, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Books of Bayern series. I absolutely love them. I highly recommend them to others, especially youth. They are clean, interesting, entertaining, and they ask you to thing deeper about the characters of the book and in turn your own. You finish each book wanting more and wanting to meet the characters and be a part of their circle and for me, there's no better ending to a book than wanting to be in it.

I bought these for my daughter because she loves to read. She kept telling me to read them but I didn't think I would like the series as much as her..I LOVE IT! I hope the author continues to write more Books of Bayern!
