When Elyse Guttenberg isn’t writing, you can find her wielding her small but mighty chain saw on 20 acres of discontinuous permafrost in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is the recipient of an Alaska State Council on the Arts Individual Fellowship in Literature and an Artist Initiative Award. Her first novel SUNDER, ECLIPSE and SEED was shortlisted for Best First Fantasy by the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. SUMMER LIGHT and DAUGHTER of the SHAMAN are prehistories set in Alaska 2000 years ago. Other work appears in The Women’s Press Book of New Myth and Magic; Spaceships and Spells; About Place Journal and other publications. Her newest novel, THE POWER WE SHARE, leaves Alaska for the high seas and the adventures of Molly Sinclair, pirate, craftborn witch and thief extraordinaire.
