Zane Rè-Bloom grew up in the Pacific Northwest, exploring the woods, jumping in puddles, and never being caught dead with an umbrella. She knew she wanted to be a writer at an early age. Before dedicating herself to the craft, she made ends meet reading tarot cards, delivering pizza, nannying, eventually earning a master's in elementary education, and teaching fifth grade. Zane's debut novel The Magic of Moon and Herbs is an international middle-grade 2023 Gertrude Warner Book Award Finalist. She lives in Portland, OR with her spouse, their inquisitive and hilarious kiddo, and Artemis the pug. When she’s not writing, reading, or listening to audiobooks, she enjoys gardening, knitting, drawing, yoga, and making magic.
