Part of the Forest

Eliza Leone is an author from the Pacific Northwest who specializes in chronicling the stories of her imaginary friends. As a kid, you could find her on the playground with a few kids acting out the stories they'd made up. When she got older and discovered that entire worlds were hidden within the pages of endless books, chances are her nose was in one. Over time, Friday nights were reserved for bookstore runs with her mother, and together, they'd resupply for a week of adventures.

Writing had always been a far-off dream, but her ability to spell and do that grammar thing correctly was severely lacking. It wasn't until her mid-twenties that she decided that if she were only writing for herself, no one would care about her lack of proper punctuation. Ten years and over a dozen books later, her family, human, and fiction, convinced her to finally share her stories with the world.

From short stories and micro-fiction to the entire urban fantasy universe of Alku and its people, Eliza can't wait for you to giggle, sob, and throw your book across the room with her. Just...please don't throw the e-readers.
