Darci Cole is an author, narrator, and podcaster. (add a plug for my books here if it's a conference) She has loved the fantasy genre ever since her first grade teacher gifted her a copy of THE WISHING TREE, and she read it dozens of times in a single summer. She and her husband run Colevanders: a wand shop catering to lovers of magic and cosplay. She loves Harry Potter, oracle cards, pretty dice, and fandom t-shirts. While she spends most of her time wrangling children, she also enjoys beta reading for her friends and acclaimed authors. Darci currently lives in Arizona with her husband and four children.
