Lora E. Rasmussen is a San Francisco Bay Area native who discovered a love of writing by creating a revisionist version of A Christmas Carol in the third grade. She quickly became submerged in Fantasy and Science Fiction through mythology and cinema, and somehow, never found her way back out of the rabbit–hole. She spends her free time reading, delving into historical research, playing both table–top and VG RPGs, collecting swords and comics, riding motorcycles, and (reluctantly) running. When not writing, she uses her MA in European History to teach History to both Community College and High School students. It is a vocation that she absolutely loves. She currently lives in San Francisco California with her Wife.
