Ellen Wind-van Strien is a native-born Dutchie who teaches part-time at a graphic arts school when she’s not writing. She always had the aspiration to write when she was younger, but she kept it small by writing short stories. With plenty of imagination to spare, she finally made the leap into writing a novel and plans on writing many more. She currently resides in the Netherlands with her husband, daughter, dog and bunny and is already in the process of thinking up the second novel in the Aesir series.
