Levi Harper grew up between Flagstaff's high desert and the Oregon coast, learning constellations at a small-town observatory by night and practicing kickturns by day. After studying journalism at Portland State University, Harper worked as a planetarium presenter and a skate shop hand, jobs that fed an abiding love for wonder and wheels. Their young adult fiction blends road-movie momentum with stargazer awe and has been recognized by regional librarians' lists for reluctant readers. Harper lives in Santa Cruz, California, where they volunteer at a youth skate collective, host late-night skywatching meetups, and share a small apartment with a rescue greyhound named Comet.
