This ghost story gave me chill after chill. It will haunt you. — RL Stine, author of GOOSEBUMPS series

India Hill Brown is an author with a passion for writing, reading, and all things literary. Her debut novel, The Forgotten Girl, has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in Youth/Teens. It’s both a spooky original ghost story and a timely and important storyline about reclaiming an abandoned segregated cemetery. Her second novel, The Girl In The Lake, reminds readers that the truth is scarier than fiction especially when it comes to historical truths and lived realities whose impacts echo through the generations. Her latest book, Rhythm & Muse, is noted as a Cinderella meets Cyrano in a pitch-perfect YA rom-com that is a celebration of Black joy, first crushes, and putting your heart on the line for love.

India graduated from Claflin University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications and with a Concentration in Print Journalism. In her spare time, she can be found curling up with a good book, a hot drink, and a snack. A self-proclaimed southern belle, she lives in the Carolinas with her husband and two sons.
