Who is Jenn Sommersby?

It’s me! I swear! Eliza Gordon is just a pen name to keep my brands separate (and parents happy). Official bio:

Jennifer Sommersby writes young adult and middle grade fiction. Her young adult fantasy/adventure novel, Sleight, from HarperCollins Canada, Sky Pony (US), and Prószyński i S-ka (Poland), was a Canadian Children’s Book Centre Best Book for Kids and Teens, Fall 2018. Its sequel, The Undoing, published March 31, 2020, in Canada (e-book only), and as an e-book and hardcover called Scheme on April 21, 2020, in the US.

As a recipient of a 2019 British Columbia Arts Council Creative Writers Grant, Jenn is currently working on her next YA project, an eco/climate fantasy adventure focused on water scarcity. She is also the author and co-creator of the YA novel, Fish Out of Water: A Little Mermaid Story, in conjunction with the Young Actors Project (YAP), a popular YouTube Channel with over 1.9 million subscribers.

A nineteen-year resident of Coquitlam, BC, Jenn is mom to three kids and three very pampered rescue tuxedo cats. She’s also a committed bibliophile, a fan of fierce females (Jo March and Joan of Arc, for the win!), and a Superman freak. When not head down in a book project, she’s probably either at the bookstore or her very favorite place in the whole world, the movies.
