Hey, I'm Olivia J. Bennett, and I'm a writer, artist, educator, and lover of all things cozy and aesthetically pleasing! My debut novel, A Cactus In the Valley, was published when I was a 17-year-old senior in high school—although we don't talk about that much now. I hold a National Gold Medal in Flash Fiction from Scholastic Art & Writing. I live in Illinois and am currently studying to be a high school English teacher.

​

When not creating, I can be found baking cookies, binge-watching TV with my partner, or cuddling my two cats.

About Me

a road trip sundae
with existential crisis whipped cream
and a cherry of murder on top

An all-new Upper YA contemporary novel from award-winning author Olivia J. Bennett. 

Journey through the Pacific Northwest with aspiring serial killer Hendrix Williams and his none-the-wiser road trip buddy, earnest yet angsty Michelle "Arden" Campell as they crash in motel rooms, meet fellow travelers both intimidating and heartfelt, and keep secrets from each other that will rip their lives apart.
