Elaine Isaak dropped away from art school after
two and a half years to found Curious Characters, designing original
stuffed animals and small-scale humorous or encouraging sculptures,
and to follow her bliss: writing. Now she spitted her time between
business and writing, and being the mother of a delightful 4-year
old whose first phrase was "gargoyle book". Elaine lives
in a semi-refurbished Victorian house with not nearly enough gingerbread,
enclosed by masks and artifacts from around the world. Her debut fantasy
novel, The Singer's Crown, came out in 2005 from Eos Books, with continuation,
The Eunuch's Heir, to be published in fall of 2006. |
