About the author

Benjamin Medrano

I was born in 1985 in Sacramento, California. I never knew the region, with my father moving to Utah, where my earliest memories begin. The youngest of the family, I have several older siblings, who protected and tormented me by turns. I love them dearly, and appreciate that my family has supported me in my hobbies.

I write lesbian fiction, primarily focusing on high fantasy but also occasionally dabbling in science fiction, and I often include darker themes to my books as well.

I'm a huge fan of tabletop roleplaying games like Pathfinder and play them as often as I'm able to do so. I'm also a fan of computer strategy games and RPGs, with my favorites in each category being the Homeworld series and Final Fantasy VII.

I've read Fantasy and Science Fiction since I was in second grade, and my heart of hearts will always have a fond place in my memories for Brian Jacques, whose works truly let my imagination soar.
