Rhiannon Held writes urban fantasy, along with space opera and weird western (as R.Z. Held). She lives in Seattle, where she works as an archaeologist for an environmental compliance firm.

I started with some short stories in the world of my SILVER series, and I'm working up to publishing the fourth book in that series, WOLFSBANE. It will be out Fall 2015. I'm very excited to be able to get it out to people, so I'm making sure I know how to do everything well with getting it copy-edited, formatted, and having a cover made.(less)
