About Ylisa Ebert:

Ylisa Ebert grew up in Chepstow, ON, Canada. Although many members of her family were highly charismatic, Ylisa had the social graces of a drowning cat. She spent more time inhaling every book she could get her hands on than she did making friends. As a result of this, she is contentedly awkward and has also gained an appreciation for books and authors across a variety of mediums and genres. Ylisa began dabbling in writing at the early age of seven, with pitiful results that were mostly plagiarized versions of the Narnia series. She got slightly worse as she passed into her teen years, what with the prevalence of whininess and stupidity in her characters. It wasn't until her post secondary education that a double major in English and French as well as a creative writing critique and workshop course helped her develop her abilities as a novelist. Now Ylisa lives with her husband, son, and daughter, and she writes full time accompanied by two slightly neurotic dogs.
