Landry Brennan
After decades of dreaming of being an author, Landry Brennan published her debut novel, Margins, in 2024. Early in 2025, she introduced readers to her Trailhead series with Take It Outside, and she's excited to welcome everyone back to the bar in Second Nature. Always happily brainstorming, Landry has many more love stories to tell, both within the Trailhead universe and not, and all of them celebrate the beautifully complicated flaws and dreams so many of us recognize in ourselves.
When she's not writing, Landry loves oversharing with online friends, watching hockey, drinking coffee, planning road trips, and spending time with her family.
Landry lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her wife, kids, and the family's black lab mix.
