Author Cynthia Leitich Smith

Welcome to my page! I'm the author of Rain Is Not My Indian Name (HarperCollins, 2001)(Listening Library, 2001), Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007, 2008)(Listening Library, 2008)(Walker UK, 2008), and Eternal (Candlewick, 2009)(Listening Library, 2009)(Walker, UK) I've also published books for children.

Eternal is set in the same universe as Tantalize but features different main characters. The two casts will crossover in Blessed (Candlewick, TBA). A graphic novel adaptation of Tantalize--from Kieren's POV--is also in the works. See book trailers below!

I've also published YA short stories in Moccasin Thunder: American Indian Stories for Today, edited by Lori M. Carlson (HarperCollins, 2005) and Immortal: Love Stories with Bite, edited by P. C. Cast (BenBella, 2008, 2009).

My latest shorts appear in Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd, edited by Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci, (Little Brown, 2009) and Sideshow: Ten Original Tales of Freaks, Illusionists, and Other Matters Odd and Magical, edited by Deborah Noyes (Candlewick, 2009).
