Hello!

Lucy Branam lives and writes in Jacksboro, Tennessee. In addition to writing, she peruses books, dabbles in graphic design, and occasionally goes for a wander (either on her feet or in her mind).

Little Ghost House Hunts (illustrated by Natalie Hoopes) is her newest picture book, coming July 1, 2025, from Sleeping Bear Press. Little Ghost has two older book-siblings: Roof Octopus and Monday.

If Lucy had to pick a house to haunt, it would be a big, old manor house full of interesting things and, hopefully, a cat.

P.S. Lucy finds comfort in the fact that her bio is slowly getting longer and more interesting.

DID YOU KNOW?
I’m on the Teaching Artist Roster for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Arts Education program. That means I’m an artist that is approved to work on grant-funded Tennessee Arts Commission projects and programs, so grant money could be used to bring me to your school!
