Kelsie Engen spent her youth in North Pole, Alaska, a short way away from Santa Claus' house. It was a unique youth, suffering negative fifty degrees every winter only to be rewarded with ninety above and constant daylight in the summers.

Kelsie is constantly at work on new things spanning a variety of topics. Among them: fairy tales, England, Alaska, running, family life, heartbreak, and hope. Follow along with her writing journey at KelsieEngenAuthor.com and sign up for her mailing list.

Currently, she is finishing up her fantasy series loosely based on Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. She's also dabbling in a Jane Austen fantasy variation with dragons.

Gustave Flaubert
“You forget everything. The hours slip by. You travel in your chair through centuries you seem to see before you, your thoughts are caught up in the story, dallying with the details or following the course of the plot, you enter into characters, so that it seems as if it were your own heart beating beneath their costumes.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
