Violet Lumani

Violet Lumani was raised by storytellers. She grew up absorbing the oral lore her family brought from Albania with them, as well as tales of their own trials and triumphs.

FORETOLD, runner-up for the 2021 Maxy Award for Young Adult Literature, is the first book in The Scryers Trilogy, Lumani’s YA debut. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually painting, playing with her precocious littles, or reading. She also works as a Digital Marketing Director for a company called Oracle (no relation to the oracles in FORETOLD).

Lumani holds a BA from Barnard College of Columbia University, and an MBA from UCONN, and lives in Connecticut with her husband, two kids, and a pair of bickering chihuahuas named Kiwi and Coconut. She is repped by Jon Michael Darga of Aevitas Creative.
