About the Shkode series:
It’s unconventional fantasy writing that doesn’t easily fit into a marketing bin. But that’s why we love it and why we think we have something different to offer you. For fantasy fans, it’s got wizards, magic, and dragons as we doubt you’ve seen them before! It’s even got a four-dimensional narrator for a touch of mathematical fiction. It’s also written by a vegan and equalist, who enjoys exploring the human themes that make us who we are, including culture, gender, race, violence, and the connections between us and the world. So it’s really something different.
About E.D.E. Bell:
E.D.E. Bell is a graduate of the University of Michigan with an MSE in Electrical Engineering and works as an advisor in technical intelligence. After hours, she pursues her dream of writing epic fantasy with the support of her husband and three amazing children. A passionate vegan and enthusiastic denier of gender rules, she feels strongly about issues related to human equality and animal compassion and loves to inspire thought through her writing. She loves cats and trees.
