TANYA BOTEJU is a writer and educator living on stolen Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh land (Vancouver, BC). Her debut novel, Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens, was named a Top Ten Indie Next Pick by the American Booksellers Association and Messy Perfect was a BC and Yukon Book Award finalist. Setting the Stage for Christmas is her debut adult novel. Typically, you can find her cozy in her cabin, writing at cafés, or smooshing any dog that will let her. In both teaching and writing, Tanya hopes she’s bending the universe even the tiniest bit toward justice.
