Mora Fowley-Doyle is half-French, half-Irish and lives in Dublin with her husband, their young daughters, and their old cat. Mora's French half likes red wine and dark books in which everybody dies. Her Irish half likes tea and happy endings. Mora started a PhD on vampires in young adult fiction before concentrating on writing young adult fiction with no vampires in it whatsoever. She wrote her first novel at the age of eight, when she was told that if she wrote a story about spiders she wouldn't be afraid of them anymore. Mora is still afraid of spiders, but has never stopped writing stories. The Accident Season is her debut novel.

we manipulate memories to fall in line with our present
narrative--the lies we tell ourselves to keep our brains safe and

unraveling of both Cara and her family...and the bittersweet ending
will haunt readers as much it does Cara."--BCCB
