Violet Lumani was raised by storytellers. She grew up absorbing the oral lore her family brought from Albania with them, as well as tales of their own trials and triumphs.

FORETOLD, Book 1 of The Scryers Trilogy, her YA debut, was a 2022 IPPY Award Bronze Medal Winner (Young Adult – Fantasy), a 2022 Eric Hoffer Award Grand Prize 1st Runner Up (Young Adult), 2022 Finalist for First Horizon Award, 2021 Finalist for the Indies Today Award (Y.A. Literature), 2021 Runner-Up for the Maxy Award (Y.A. Literature), and has received a five star review from Indies Today. HINDSIGHT, Book 2 of The Scryers Trilogy, is planned for a Winter 2024 / 2025 release.

When she isn’t writing, Violet is usually painting, playing with her precocious littles, reading, or working her day job: She is currently the Senior Director of Demand Generation for a company called Salesforce. Violet holds a BA from Barnard College of Columbia University, and an MBA from UCONN, and lives in Connecticut with her husband, two kids, and a pair of bickering chihuahuas named Kiwi and Coconut.
