K. M. Saurel holds a self-designed interdisciplinary B.A. in literature, history, and creative writing, which is definitely a major in writing historical fantasy and not a fancy way of saying she switched departments once too often. She's a scriptwriter at an animation studio by day, novelist by night, and ghostwriter at an ungodly hour of the morning, and astonishingly hasn't starved yet. She is not nearly as photogenic as Arsinoe II. You can sign up to be pelted with whatever historical factoids she's currently excited about—and possibly the occasional free short story—here.
