A.G. Howard, also known as Anita Grace Howard, is a New York Times and International bestselling author renowned for her gothic, fantasy, and paranormal tales that are both mystical and romantic, with a touch of horror. Howard's most celebrated work is the Splintered series, a dark, modern-day adaptation inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The series, which includes titles such as Splintered, Unhinged, and Ensnared, reimagines the protagonist as a teenage girl named Alyssa Gardner, who is presented as a descendant of Alice Liddell.

Howard's writing spans across young adult, adult, and literary romance genres. Her works have been translated into over a dozen languages, including an Italian translation of Splintered known as Il mio splendido migliore amico. Howard is represented by Jenny Bent and has a unique approach to rating books on GoodReads, only reviewing books she enjoys and refraining from giving any rating below 4 stars. This reflects her respect for the individual and unique voice of each writer, a truth she has come to respect in her own literary journey.
