Elizabeth VanZwoll was born on a mountaintop on the darkest night while a storm brewed—or perhaps it was on a gray April morning in Michigan. As a child, she grew up with a book in hand, every so often nudging her glasses up her nose as she spun a universe of possibilities around her. After fighting dragons, breaking curses, rescuing the prince, and colonizing planets by the dozen, Elizabeth started putting her imprint on books in the real word, first writing one short story, and then expanding to editing and proofreading. Elizabeth currently lives in Farmington, Michigan with her husband, two cats, and a mountain of books.
