Bree Barton is the author of HEART OF THORNS, out from Katherine Tegen/HarperCollins in July 2018. HoT is the first book in a fierce feminist fantasy trilogy about a girl who discovers she possesses the very dark magic she has sworn to destroy. If the only words on Bree’s tombstone were “fierce” and “feminist,” she would die happy. When she’s not lost in whimsy, she works as a ghostwriter, book planner, and dance teacher to teen girls. She is on Instagram and YouTube as Speak Breely, where she posts writing advice and funny videos of her melancholy dog. Bree is not a fan of corsets.
