edit data

Eden Tyler studied English Literature and Psychology at Purdue University and still resides in the Midwest where she grew up, in her comfortable home with her great little family.

Still a reader, she spends a lot of time researching her main obsession—faeries. The Abandoned Edge of Avalon is not only an urban fantasy, but also a form of Mythic Fiction in that it draws directly from Celtic mythology. Eden created her own world from the facts she learned.

Other than believing faeries do come into her house and hide things from her and mess around just for fun, she maintains a fairly simple life. It consists mostly of writing, reading, and watching movies. Eden adores almost all candy and loves the colors pink and blue.

Haley: It’s just one comm
