Kalyn Josephson is the NYT bestselling author of THE STORM CROW duology, RAVENFALL series, and upcoming THIS DARK DESCENT. By day, she's a Technical Writer, which leaves room for too many bad puns about technically being a writer. She lives in the Bay Area with two black cats (who are more like a tiny dragon and an even tinier owl).

RAVENFALL is an upper middle grade fantasy about a girl whose family runs a sentient inn at the crossroads of the human world and the Otherworld, and the boy who comes to them for help solving a magical family mystery.

Think Supernatural meets Halloweentown, or a spooky Celtic Encanto. It has:

Kalyn Josephson answered Olivia Plasencia's question: I am really enjoying your Ravenfall novel, it is so magical and natural. Also love the references to your background. How many of these can we expect? Even though I am not the target age group, I am so glad I found these books! Hi Olivia! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The series is complete at 4 books (Ravenfall, Hollowthorn, Witchwood, and Ravenguard) but if you're enjoying it, I have a new series in the same vein as those starting Fall 2026 called The Grimlore Game, whic See Full Answer
