Elise writes fantasy for fun, reads fantasy for research, and occasionally fantasizes about how many friends she’d have if she got out of the house more. <em>Roots of Blood</em> is her debut novel in the Nymph Keepers trilogy, followed by the sequel, <em>Heart of the Forest</em>, and the series finale, <em>Queen of the Nymphs</em>. She graduated from The Writer’s Studio Online at Simon Fraser University, where she also spent two years as a TA for the inimitable Eileen Cook. When she’s not writing, she works as a freelance editor and co-hosts The Tea Grannies Writing Podcast. She lives in British Columbia, Canada with her husband and their eight computers.<br>
