Darcy Marks is a lifelong reader who learned to walk quite well with a book in front of her face, thank you very much. She lives in Vermont with her husband, three genre-defying kids, a very needy cat and an extremely friendly former racehorse, where she writes rebellious fantasy books for kids. When she’s not reading or writing she explains math and science to lawyers as a forensic toxicologist and used her several black belts to help found The Safety Team, a non-profit changing the world and smashing the patriarchy one step at a time. She is the author of GROUNDED FOR ALL ETERNITY and other snarky books for kids.

And so it begins…
In the time I signed the contract for GROUNDED FOR ALL ETERNITY (and it’s upcoming sequel!) we had an entire global pandemic and the world changed…probably forever. But even while the office locations moved and fashion began to include facemasks, the work continued and now I am so thrilled to not only be able to share the absolutely gorgeous cover by Nicholas Kole, but to also announce that Grounded is now available for pre-order! So consider this a call to action! Add Grounded to your Goodreads shelf, pre-order through your favorite bookseller, share the news to all of your snarky, Halloween loving friends. Let’s do this right and give Malachi…
