Rosalyn Eves
Rosalyn Eves grew up in the Rocky Mountains, dividing her time between reading books and bossing her siblings into performing her dramatic scripts. As an adult, the telling and reading of stories is still one of her favorite things to do. When she's not reading or writing, she enjoys spending time with her chemistry professor husband and three children, watching British period pieces, or hiking through the splendid landscape of southern Utah, where she lives. She dislikes housework on principle. The first two novels in her YA historical fantasy trilogy, BLOOD ROSE REBELLION and LOST CROW CONSPIRACY, are now available from Knopf/Random House.

He's also been published in Skin Diver Magazine, The New Era several times, and Destiny Health magazine. He is the only semi-prolific writer he knows who can't type.
