Mari Mancusi regrets having never applied to Nevermore Academy, as she's certain she'd have fit right in. An Emmy-winning former television producer and author of more than thirty books--including The Nightmare Before Christmas Twisted Tale from Disney Press--she has always been a huge Tim Burton fan and has streamed Wednesday more times than Thing has fingers. When not writing, she enjoys going to Disney World, playing video games, and watching scary (and cheesy!) horror movies.

Melendez grew up on the mean, deer-infested streets of Bucksport, Maine, but now lives in Massachusetts with his collection of Monokuro Boo plush pigs.
