Duncan Penn, a Canadian poet, goes under the pen name Atticus. His novels, The Dark Between Stars and The Truth About Magic, became New York Times best-sellers almost immediately. In addition to his novels, Atticus publishes postings on social media with his 1.5 million followers, including Facebook and Instagram. He has been praised for his ability to create characters who are both like us and not like us. Critics say his books are full of action and adventure while also being thought-provoking and revealing about life and love. Atticus lives in Toronto with his family. He writes all day every day and then some more. He says that when he's not writing, you can usually find him riding his bike, playing video games, or hanging out with his friends. His fans think he is wonderful and they always want more from him and his characters. For any writer, this is what we all strive for: to create stories that last and connect with our readers long after the book is closed.
