Cylin Busby Ross likes to say that she is from Maine, but really she has lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Maine, New York and California. Since both of her parents were born in Maine, and she went to high school there, she thinks of it as her home state. She can also do a mean Downeast accent.

Cylin has worked at Random House, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster as a children's book editor. She was also Senior Editor at Teen Magazine. She is the author of fiction and nonfiction books for young readers, numerous magazine articles and short stories. She is currently working on an adult memoir with her father, John Busby, and a middle-grade historical novel.

Cylin lives in the hipster neighborhood of Silverlake in Los Angeles, though she herself is not a hipster, and neither is her husband, Damon, although he does work in the film industry. However, their son August listens to Beck, wears low-top Converse sneakers and is very hip for a five-year-old.
