Vera Greentea
Vera Greentea really wants to buy a haunted house one day. In the meantime, she spends her time writing YA and middle-grade about witches, and pretending that the footsteps behind her are ghosts. (They're not. They usually belong to her rather large and clumsy cat, Caspian.) One day, though...
Vera Greentea's first traditionally published book is GRIMOIRE NOIR (July 2019, Macmillan/First Second), but she has been writing and self-publishing comics through her own imprint Greentea Publishing for several years. If you like spooky stories about the Day of the Dead, or demon cookbooks, or animals haunted by creepy spirits, find more of Greentea's writing at greenteapublishing.com.
