Sian Ann Bessey

January 25, 2022 · In: Faculty

SIAN ANN BESSEY was born in Cambridge, England, grew up on the island of Anglesey off the coast of North Wales, and now lives in Southeast Idaho. Americans think she has a British accent; Brits think she has an American accent. She can’t hear her accent at all, but the name of the small Welsh village, “”Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,” still rolls off her tongue.

Sian began her writing career as a student, publishing several magazine articles while still in college. Since then, she has published over twenty novels, along with a variety of children’s books. She is a USA Today best-selling author, a Foreward Reviews Book of the Year finalist, and a two-time Swoony Award winner and Whitney Award finalist.
