About the Author...
A life-long book lover, and avid reader, Jessica Verday wrote her first story when she was much younger. Titled "Bobby's Bazillion Bananas" it was about a boy named Bobby who planted a banana in his backyard and it sprouted into a banana tree overnight. There were - you guessed it - a bazillion bananas. 

If she could have any superpower, she'd want to have X-Ray vision and the ability to make no-calorie cupcakes appear out of thin air. When not daydreaming about moving into a library of her own, she can be found working on her next story, taking a nap, or buying vintage furniture. She likes: rainy nights, warm blankets, old postcards, baby animals, cemeteries, Johnny Cash, handmade jewelry, zombie movies, L.J. Smith books, abandoned buildings, trains and snow.

About The Hollow… 
The Hollow took eighteen months, thirteen spiral notebooks, and fifteen pens to write. In early 2006, I heard Abbey’s voice in my head for the first time. She said one sentence (sorry, I can’t reveal what it was yet), and that was enough to make me start wondering what if... All I had at that point was a girl who loved hanging out in cemeteries and made perfume in her spare time, but there was still so much more I wanted to know. When Caspian entered the picture and gave me his last line from book one, I was hooked. Throw in a lifetime love of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and a visit to the town of Sleepy Hollow, and I had the perfect setting.
