Author Biography
S. A. Bolich is a fulltime freelancer with a number of published fantasy stories to her credit as well as many nonfiction articles. She graduated summa cum laude from college with a degree in history, which she confesses was greatly aided by devouring historical fiction of every era and kind through her formative years. Her short fiction has appeared in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, On Spec, Damnation Books, and the anthologies Wolfsongs 2 and Defending the Future IV: No Man's Land, among others. Currently she is working on the next two books in the Elemental Magic series as well as an alternate history series using an unexplored explanation of what really happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Born and raised in Washington State, she returned after many years traveling the U.S. and the world. As a regular Army military intelligence officer, she saw a great deal of Germany from the front seat of a jeep, back when the Iron Curtain still defined East and West. Her favorite places remain, however, the high-up meadows of the Cascade Mountains where she has often traveled by horse. Over the years she has been a teacher, a project manager, a riding instructor, and a good many other things, but always a writer. Much of her work is informed by the jawdropping details of real history (you really can't make that stuff up), bent in any number of creative ways, and a boundless love for the wild places of the world.
