Lisa Manuzak Wiley

Lisa has been an artist and storyteller for as long as she can remember, and has loved magic and mystery for just as long. Born and raised in Hawaii, which inspired the setting and characters for The Witches of Pepperwood Bay, she studied art in university and has lived across the globe in places such as Australia, Seattle, and New York. In addition to illustrating numerous children's books, she has also worked as an artist in the video game industry on games such as Skylanders, Destiny 2, and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. She currently lives in Southern California and enjoys sunny days with her husband, their naughty corgi, two old cats, a lively hamster, and too many plants.
