Darby Karchut

Darby Karchut is an award-winning author, dreamer, and compulsive dawn greeter. A proud native of New Mexico, she now lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, where she runs in blizzards and bikes in lightning storms. When not dodging death by Colorado, Darby is busy wrangling words.

Her middle grade book, DEL TORO MOON (Owl Hollow Press) was a Colorado Book Award Winner, Reading the West Longlist Pick, and Moonbeam Children's Silver Award Winner. Its sequel, THE RED CASKET, released January 2020. Darby's other works include the ADVENTURES OF FINN MacCULLEN series. Best thing ever: her debut YA trilogy, GRIFFIN RISING, has been optioned for film.
