Lucy Leiderman was born on a naval base in Kaliningrad, Russia and raised in Toronto, Canada. A fan of all things mythological from an early age, she began writing stories as a child. As an adult and avid traveller, she infuses her writing with magic and compelling settings. She holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto and a Master’s degree from Uppsala Universitet. During working hours, she enjoys coming up with ideas that live on the Internet. She currently resides in Toronto, where she enjoys tea, archery, and two spoiled greyhounds.
