Join author Aislinn O’Loughlin as she reads from her new hilarious supernatural adventure Big Bad Me. Aislinn will then pull back the curtain on how to create truly believable YA characters in a world populated by supernatural beings and talk about why the supernatural continues to capture the imaginations of YA readers everywhere.

Aislinn O’Loughlin grew up in Dublin, on a diet of fairy tales and horror stories – often at the same time (her biggest fear was the Big Bad Wolf escaping his story to eat her).  After writing several books in her teens, Aislinn worked as a storyteller and creative-writing teacher before moving to Toronto, where she sometimes took her kids to day care in a sled (yes, really)! These days, she lives in Waterford with her scientist husband, three brilliant children and two evil genius cats. The Big Bad Wolf is welcome any time.

Aislinn O’Loughlin’s YA debut Big Bad Me was published by Little Island in 2022.
