About the author

Melissa Frederick--who was born much earlier than 2001--wrote and illustrated her first fantasy novel at age seven: the adventures of a girl driving around the world in a blue, cigar-shaped Winnebago. Since then, she completed a Master’s degree in creative writing at Iowa State University. Her poetry and prose have appeared in journals such as the Crab Orchard Review, Cream City Review, Kalliope, The Mid-American Review, the short-story anthology Modern Magic, Astropoetica, Mythic Delirium, and Star*Line. She was a featured author in the 2003-2004 season of Writing Aloud, produced by the InterAct Theatre Company in Philadelphia, and in 2011 she was a nominee for the Rhysling award. Currently, she is inching her way toward a Ph.D. in Renaissance literature at Temple University. In the course of her studies, she has become intimately acquainted with Philip Sidney’s Arcadia and Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene, to the detriment of her sanity.
