Sonja F. Blanco grew up in New England where she ran barefoot through the woods, chased lightning bugs, and tapped maple trees for syrup. Having an ancestor who was hung as a witch, Sonja is naturally drawn to all things magical and fantastical-trees and cemeteries in particular. At 5'2" she is often caught climbing tables, chairs, and small children to reach the upper shelves. She likes coffee and tea equally, both of which most certainly contributed to her diminutive stature. Witty comics easily amuse her, as do heavily jowled Hell Hounds that talk in their sleep. She writes fantasy as if it were real, because believing makes it so. Find Sonja on social media at @sonjafblanco or online at www.sonjafblanco.com
