About the Author

More than once, E.A. Stewart slept under her desk at a major software company after staying up until 4 a.m. reading a book that transported its reader to another world. It might have been Baker's Company stories or Francis Lymond at large in the world or magical swordsmen under a crescent moon. When she was writing engineering white papers (no more than two clauses per sentence, with no adverbs or adjectives), she remembered that she knew more things. About history and birds and dreams. About calligraphy and the scents of mountain air and sea air. Now she writes adventure stories for curious readers seeking a portal to another world. Annie Stewart lives and writes in Seattle, Washington.
