About the Author

T. L. Morganfield was born in San Diego, California in 1976, but she’s spent most of her life living in Colorado. She fell in love with writing in fifth grade with her first writer’s workshop class, and she spent her childhood dreaming of someday being a writer.

She graduated from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 2003 with degrees in both English and History. In her college history courses, she discovered a passion for Aztec history and mythology. In 2002 she attended the Clarion West workshop in Seattle, Washington.

In 2009, her Aztec alternate history story “Night Bird Soaring” was a finalist for the Sidewise Award, and in 2010 her first professional publication came out in Realms of Fantasy.
