About the Author

She attended UW Oshkosh, where she studied literature, art, and anthropology, eventually realizing it would be much easier to write a novel about an archaeologist than it would be to become one herself.She has a tedious day job that no one here needs to hear about, but in her free time, she studies Aikido, teaches herself to play guitar, and works on writing projects in whatever genre she feels like that day, among other hobbies and interests.She can be found on BlueSky @ScarletVMitchell.bsky.social and contacted at scarlet.mitchell.kp@gmail.com.For more from Scarlet, visit-http: //scarletmitchellwrites.wordpress.com
