Flinn’s books have featured on the USA Today and NY Times bestseller lists. They have been translated into more than 20 foreign languages. Flinn was born in Glen Cove, New York, United States, and was brought up on a Salem Court street. She credits her upbringing for influencing her interest in stories about witches. When Flinn was 5 years old, her mother suggested her to become an author. Considering the numerous poems she wrote in her school days, she thinks that she was destined to find this path. All the poems she wrote as a child were sent to Cricket or Highlights magazine and each one of them received rejections. Flinn had collected as many rejection slips at the age of 7 as any other aspiring author at that time.
