BIOGRAPHY

Barbara DaCosta writes for children and adults alike. Her children's picture book debut is Nighttime Ninja, illustrated by Caldecott Award-winning artist Ed Young (Little, Brown 2012) . Her debut as a mystery writer came with the short story "Cabin 6" in the anthology Resort to Murder, edited by Minnesota Crime Wave.
