The daughter of a reverend of modest means, E A Carter grew up in the Canadian countryside with only a bicycle, her cat, and her imagination to keep her company. Inspired by the fantastical, magical worlds of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Hans Christian Andersen, she began writing her own fantasy-based stories set in past times at the age of 13. Today, her books are a unique blend of romance, fantasy, and historical fiction. Many of her characters are real persons of history carefully researched and brought back to life in immersive plotlines that span empires. E A also writes science fiction with a focus on immortality and future tech. So far, her readers seem to love her unique stories. Her books have won numerous awards, including from Writer’s Digest, Wishing Shelf Awards, Indie Author Network, Page Turner Awards and more. Elizabeth currently lives in Poland with her two Swedish rescue cats Nova and Ninya and her Hugo Awards nominated artist partner Michal Karcz. When she isn’t writing things, she’s out in the nature, biking and hiking in the Polish mountains and forests. Because she is in Poland, she feels it is her civic duty to eat plenty of perogies with sour cream. When she started out in this world, she had one citizenship, now somehow through strange twists of fate, she has three. Apart from growing up in Canada, she’s also lived in Sweden, Denmark, and the UK.
