Jaclyn Dolamore loves history, vintage dresses, David Bowie, anime, drawing, and organic food. As a kid she was obsessed with Elfquest comics, Final Fantasy, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and L. M. Montgomery novels, and this explains a lot. She is the author of various fantasy novels, including Magic Under Glass, selected as a Top 10 First Novels for Youth by Booklist and adapted into the rock musical Clockwork Heart. She lives with her partner and plot guru Dade and three weird cats in a Victorian house in western Maryland.
