Thea van Diepen spent the first ten years of her life on a tree-wrapped acreage where an inquisitive child might believe in magic. Nowadays, she lives in a small city in Alberta, breathing life into characters and worlds and the stories they tell.

She’s been published in the Tesseracts anthology series, and her works include the White Changeling series, The Kitten Psychologist series, and the interactive short story The Tree and the Grave. Her website is theavandiepen.com, and she can be contacted via that site, in English or French. If you do contact her in French, though, please don’t ask her to count in it as she tends to skip numbers ending in six entirely by accident.
