Elyse Draper, as a native Coloradan, brings a distinctive vision of the Rocky Mountains to life. When that sight is combined with her love of world travel, history, sociological sciences, psychology, and humanism, the outcome is a setting that spans the world and imagination. That aptitude when mixed with an educational background of law, philosophy, and French, brings the result of a fantastic yet realistic renaissance storyline, ultimately taking the reader on an exceptional journey. Working as a freelance journalist for Examiner.com, Elyse reports on the publishing world and supports Denver’s local literary contributors as Denver’s Author Examiner. Still living in Colorado with her husband and daughter, she is working on her newest speculative fiction novel.
