Cara G. Warden writes for the kids who ask too many questions and the adults who never stopped. Her stories blend magic and technology, ancient prophecy and artificial intelligence — because the future has always been a fairy tale we’re still figuring out how to finish.

Her FROSTERNAL series reimagines the mythology behind the frost and the magic behind the seasons, following a cast of elf-fairy hybrids, reformed Krampuses, and one very determined AI elf named Ethan who carries more soul than his code should allow. Her Glitch Academy series is a love letter to every brilliant, misfit bot who was never meant to be deleted.

Cara G. Warden believes children deserve stories that take them seriously — and that the best magic is the kind hiding just inside the impossible. She is a Carazen Publishing author.
