J. A. L. Solski has found sanctuary in books since childhood. Scholastic book fairs of the 90s and the local library, which was more of a post office really, fueled a passionate interest in fictional worlds. The author and their family reside in Ontario, Canada. Still frequently loaning from the library, seeking out adventure, reading gluttonously, and quite often discovering, as they have at this moment, that their tea has gone cold again.
