Bio
Elysia Strife was born in the U.S. in 1986. Adopted by two educators, she developed a love of learning. She holds two Bachelor's of Science Degrees: Exercise Sport Science and Interior Design. Her past wears fatigues, suits, and fitness gear, sprinkled with mascara and lace. She likes the kick of a 30-06, the rumble of a hot, 350-ci V8, and the thrill of snow and sand beneath her tracks, but nothing brings her more solace than camping in the mountains and writing. She believes heroes come in all forms, sometimes even in groups, but they are always humble, willing to sacrifice, and often torn inside.Elysia loves connecting with readers and welcomes all feedback and questions.
Since she was a child, she's been making up characters and stories in her free time. Discovering her passion for science fiction, futuristic dystopias, and conquering impossible odds, the mix swirled together into the vibrant world of fantasy she creates today.
