About the Author

Elizabeth Mynes

In 2003, I read a battered paperback copy of Don Callender’s Pyromancer. Since then, I have been a fan of fantasy literature.

As a kid, I was inspired by the works of Raymond Feist, R. A. Salvatore, Douglas Adams, Anne McCaffrey, and many other speculative writers.

My first novel, Ship in a Bottle, is a love letter to my favorite things about fantasy: complex worlds, epic plots, badass characters, and the exploration of our humanity.

Thanks for stopping by!
