About Me
A first-generation Thai American, I grew up in a tiny town in Kansas. I went on to graduate from Harvard University, magna cum laude, with an A.B. in English Literature and Language, and to receive my J.D. at Yale Law School.
I’m a two-time RITA® award winner and a New York Times bestselling author of eight young adult novels. My books have been translated into four languages, and they have been nominated for the following awards and lists: ALA’s Hal Clement Notable Young Adult Book List; Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book of the Year; a Junior Library Guild selection; the Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire; the Japanese Sakura Medal; the MASL Truman Award; the Tome Society It list; and the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award.
I’m obsessed with penguins, and my childhood dream was to marry someone whose last name is “Gwynn” — so that my name could be “Pin Gwynn.” Alas, I got stuck with Dunn instead, but my husband and three children are worth the sacrifice.
I’ve teamed up with my daughter, Love Dunn, for our new YA thriller, The Lotus Flower Champion. Scroll down to find out more about Love.

About Love Dunn
Love Dunn is a high school junior. She has a deep passion for storytelling and has written fourteen manuscripts to date. Her other interests include dance, volleyball, piano, violin, and public speaking. Her favorite activity, however, is cuddling her dog, Strawberry. She frequently engages in writing sprints with her mom — and easily beats Pintip’s word count every time.
