J TULLOS HENNIG has always possessed inveterate fascination in the myths and histories of other worlds and times. Despite having maintained a few professions in this world-equestrian, dancer, teacher, artist-she has never successfully managed to not be a storyteller. Ever. Given a heritage of forest-dwelling peoples-Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Scots-Irish-the decision to make a home base in NW Washington State with the Amazing Spouse was a no-brainer. They live alongside a pair of equine freeloaders on retirement pensions, a wolfhound who alternates between leaping over the sofa and snoozing on it, and a press gang of invisible 'friends' Who Will Not Be Silenced. Active in conventions and genre literature in the 70s/80s/90s, Jeanine returned to the authorial fold in 2011 with the publication of an award-winning series of historical fantasy novels, and was awarded the Speculative Literature Foundation's juried Older Writers Grant. Her latest work, the award-winning Books of the Wode, is a truly innovative re-imagining of the Robin Hood legends, giving especial emphasis and reality to both pagan and queer perspectives. The finale of the series is due to release mid-2020. http: //www.jtulloshennig.net
