Katy Towell is a midwesterner who now lives in the Philadelphia area with her partner, a cat named Nozky and a dog named Fig Newton. An animator, illustrator, designer and author, Katy dreams of one day being the scary old lady in the haunted house about which all the neighborhood kids tell ghost stories.
Katy got her start with the online animated series "Childrin R Skary" and has since written and illustrated two middle grade children's horror novels: Charlie and the Grandmothers (Knopf) and Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow (Knopf). She continues to create creepy narrated tales and animated shorts for grownups on her YouTube channel.
(That's Nozky back there.)
