Charlotte Van Ryswyk writes magical realism novels with a cozy steampunk vibe for middle grade readers of all ages. Turicum Tales are inspired by two sabbatical years in Zürich, Switzerland where she frequented train stations and admired clock shops. As an elementary school librarian, mother, and now Oma, she has loved sharing enchanting books with children for much of her life.
She lives in Claremont, California with her husband in a 100-year-old bungalow.
