Acknowledgments
I want to thank my critique partners who provided valuable feedback in helping this book reach publication: M. Oodiah, L. Barton, A. Sanchez, and C. Badders. I couldn’t have polished this without your fantastic notes and kindness. I am forever grateful.
And to my husband, your support during even the hardest of times has meant the world to me. I would not have continued to write without your rational and compassionate heart. When the tasks seem too much, and it feels as though hope is lost, you protect me and remind me what is truly important: being human.
About the Author
Elysia Strife is a self-published author of science fiction fantasy and romance novels.
Adopted by two educators, Strife developed a deep love for learning new things. In 2012, she graduated from Oregon State University with two Bachelor’s Degrees in Public Health and Human Sciences: Interior Design and Exercise Sport Science. Her past wears fatigues, suits, and fitness gear, sprinkled with mascara and lace.
"I like to question everything, figure out how things work, and do tasks myself. Experiencing new things is fun but also helps with writing raw and genuine stories. And I'm always trying to push my comfort zones."
Strife likes the rumble of her project car's 350-ci V8. She enjoys the rush of snowboarding and riding ATVs on the dunes. But nothing brings her more solace than camping in the mountains where the stars are their brightest.
Since she was a child, she's been making up characters and stories in her free time. Discovering her passion for science fiction, futuristic dystopias, and conquering impossible odds, the mix swirled together into the vibrant world of fantasy she creates today.
Strife enjoys connecting with readers and welcomes all feedback and questions.
