Elara Dunn is the author of the YA fantasy series, The Magic Locker. She lives in Marietta, Georgia with her husband and twin daughters. She is an accomplished fiber artist and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in Art History.
While participating in GISHWHES, Dunn realized the magnitude of the long-term effects bullying had on herself and others, shaping her into a fierce ally for those who deal with emotional and physical abuse. The idea of writing a book series centered around bullied kids came to her in a fever dream.
Dunn has always been interested in how other people live and has studied different cultures and religions. Understanding and embracing both our differences and commonalities has been a driving force in her life. She is a passionate civil rights advocate and volunteers assisting others with disabilities. Dunn co-organized the largest civil rights event in Atlanta history.
In her spare time, Dunn enjoys board games, trivia, and cosplay. She hopes one day to own a red Plymouth Fury and order one of everything at the diner.
