Autorenporträt
Maryanne Fantalis lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Louisville, CO with her husband and two kids, and it's the only place outside of England she'd ever want to live. Her fiction combines her two favorite subjects - medieval England and Shakespeare's plays - and she'll talk your ear off about either of them if given the opportunity. In addition to writing novels, Maryanne teaches writing at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Look for her in one of her favorite spots: playing in a racing mountain stream, browsing at the local public library, or getting inspired at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
