A. B. Poranek grew up in Canada but spent her summers in the Polish countryside, raiding her dziadek’s library and helping care for his chickens. Her love of animals led her to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine, though she never stopped writing along the way.
Her first novel, Where the Dark Stands Still, is an ode to Poland’s wild woodlands, wilder folktales, and the girls who were raised by them.
