ABOUT E A CARTER

The daughter of a reverend of modest means, E. A. Carter grew up in the Canadian countryside with only a bicycle, her cat, and her imagination to occupy her. Apparently, this was enough.

Inspired by the fantastical worlds of Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Hans Christian Andersen, she began writing stories set in distant times and magical places at the age of thirteen.

Today, her books blend romance, fantasy, and historical fiction. Many of her characters are real people from history, carefully researched and brought back to life in immersive stories that span centuries and empires.

E. A. also writes science fiction exploring immortality, consciousness, and future technologies.

Her books have won numerous awards, including recognition from Writer’s Digest, the Wishing Shelf Book Awards, the Indie Author Network, and the Page Turner Awards.

A Canadian currently living in Poland, Elizabeth shares her home with her two Swedish rescue cats, Nova and Ninya, and her partner, Hugo Award-nominated artist Michal Karcz.

When she is not writing, she can usually be found biking or hiking through Poland’s mountains and forests. Since she lives in Poland, she also considers it her civic duty to eat plenty of pierogi with sour cream.

Elizabeth began life with one citizenship and has somehow acquired three through various twists of fate. In addition to growing up in Canada, she has lived in Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Poland.
