Kate Elliott
Kate Elliott is an American author of fantasy, science fiction and steampunk novels, with a dash of romance. She writes the Jaran series, Crown of Stars series, Crossroads series and the Spiritwalker Trilogy. Kate began to write because she wished to escape her world in rural Oregon for a world of adventure. She even met the man who would become her husband in a swordfight. After her husband quit the police force in order to study archaeology, it took the family (including three children) to places like the Mexican ruins, to European pastry shops, and finally, Hawaii.
