About the author

Elle Tesch has lived just east of Vancouver, British Columbia her entire life. Surrounded by forests and mountains, it was inevitable that she would daydream about what might lurk in those trees. When not lost in imaginary worlds, Elle can be found doting on her dog and plants, reading whatever she can get her hands on, wrestling with her current cross-stitch project, or getting way too invested in a video game.
