Elizabeth Amy Hajek (as her in-laws pronounce it: “Hey Jack, get off my lawn!”) is a renaissance woman, both in her love of Tudor England and her vast array of hobbies. After a long period of indecision in which she explored independent filmmaking and learned that English Majors have to dissect too much poetry, she settled down to a life of trying every artistic, culinary, and crafting experience she could get her hands on. In addition to writing about magical folk, she runs a variety of sewing related enterprises. She lives with her husband and their children in the Minnesota countryside.
