A.C.E. Bauer has been telling and writing stories since childhood. After a break while she worked as an attorney, writing legal briefs and telling stories about her clients, she has returned to fiction, writing children’s books and short stories for all ages. No Castles Here (Random House, 2007), her first middle grade novel, was named “one of the strongest titles of the year” in a starred Kirkus review, and was chosen by the American Library Association for its 2009 Rainbow List. Her second middle grade novel, Come Fall (Random House, 2010), a CCBC Choices Book, received a starred Publishers Weekly review. Her first novel for young adults, Gil Marsh, will be released by Random House in February, 2012.

Born and raised in Montreal, she spends most of the year in New England, and much of the summer on a lake in Quebec.
