About the author
Insha Fitzpatrick writes nonfiction for middle-grade readers, aged roughly eight to twelve, under the "Totally Factual Field Guide to the Supernatural" series from Quirk Books. "Chilling with Ghosts" (2023) covers haunted houses, ghost stories and the history behind them, mixing spooky tales with more grounded science and history for a young audience. "Sightseeing with Aliens" (2024) follows the same format applied to extraterrestrial life, UFO sightings and places like Area 51, again blending trivia, history and basic science. Both books are pitched as fun rather than frightening, aiming to satisfy kids' curiosity about the supernatural and the unexplained while giving them enough context to think about the claims involved. They suit young readers already interested in ghosts, aliens and unexplained phenomena, and the adults buying books for them.
