Dorothy Tinker grew up dreaming of fantastical worlds and creatures, of plots in space, and of strange new cultures. Certain she needed something other than writing to support her through life, she spent her time at the University of Texas at Dallas focusing on math and computer science. Two years after graduating with a BS in applied math, she rediscovered her true passion and rededicated herself to her literary dreams. Since then, Dorothy has published an ongoing series of young adult fantasy novels, including Peace of Evon, Gift of War, and Lost King. Her short stories have appeared in HWG Press's Riding the Waves and Out of Many, One, Inklings Publishing's Eclectically Cosmic and Eclectically Heroic, and Writespace's In Medias Res. Dorothy is also the owner of D Tinker Editing and works as copy editor and formatter for Inklings Publishing.
