AMIE KAUFMAN & RYAN GRAUDIN are two bestselling, award-winning authors united by their love of history, adventure, magical stories, and lost places. Ryan has explored the ruins at Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, and Amie has picnicked in the lost Roman city of Ostia Antica. When they learned about a vanishing island off the coast of South Carolina and the lighthouse left rising alone from the waves, they knew they had a story to tell. Amie lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband, daughter, and part-dingo dog. Ryan lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, daughter, and part-wolf dog. Neither of them have met a Tasmanian Tiger yet . . . or have they? You can find Amie and Ryan online at www.amiekaufman.com and www.ryangraudin.com.
