That experience ignited her passion for writing. Costello is now the author of The Frituals Saga, Until All the Stars are Found, and the upcoming Fear My Name.

A graduate of Wells College (Go Evens!), Costello earned a Bachelor of Arts in English: Creative Writing, with a minor in theatre. When she's not writing, you can find her curled up with her cat, enjoying cozy games and books, or exploring trails in the woods.

About the Book:

Much of Shauna’s life has been spent reading books and learning about the world around her, but now it’s time for her to take part in the annual Fritual testing. For years all Shauna has wanted was to meet a Fritual from Cabineral Lake, but the test hasn’t been able to find one of the powerful magick users in decades. Her older sister, Taytra, already knows there isn’t much one can trust in fairy tales and the life of an adult can be cruel. Neither is prepared for destiny to weave them into a tapestry of secrets.

Thrown into events the likes of which the sisters would expect in bedtime stories, they watch their lives crumble around them. Shauna embarks on a treacherous quest for survival, unity, and self-discovery. Meanwhile, Taytra strikes out against their enemy, sparking hope in the hearts of prisoners.

Will they rise above the challenges and unite against the dark, or will newfound power destroy them?

The Frituals is the first in a four-novel saga (The Frituals #1, Rebellion #2, Legacy #3, Book #4 2024). This series is perfect for young adult readers who enjoy books like Children of Blood and Bone and The Lord of the Rings.

About the Author:

Katelyn Costello started writing when she was twelve, out of spite. Her best friend got to go to a writing workshop, and she didn’t. So she begged her way in and showed up with a twenty-eight-page short story to what turned out to be a poetry workshop. Nevertheless, she was bitten by the writing bug. Costello graduated from Wells College, receiving a BA in Creative Writing and a minor in theatre. When not writing, Costello can be found working on her photography or snuggling one of her two pets, Athena and Hermes.
