JULIANNE WELLS has been fascinated with mythos and legend for as long as she can remember. She likes her fantasy dark and her history as accurate as possible. Julianne grew up in the Dustbowl of the Midwest—hence her flights of fancy. Since then she's lived in all parts of the country and traveled abroad. She currently resides in North Carolina. A frequent presenter and fancon panelist, Julianne is a contributing nonfiction author to The Fantasy Writers Companion and her historical novel Hetaera was a 2004 RWA Golden Heart finalist.
