| Maelan Peredhil |
Author has written 38 stories for General, Fantasy, Life, Fantasy, and Historical. Maelan is a doctoral student of medieval history, and writes fantasy when she has time. She enjoys martial pursuits and roleplaying games, and plays the harp. These things are probably interconnected somehow. Worth reading (i.e. newer stuff): The Gates of Yesterday (current work) All other stories are mostly here as archival pieces, as the sole remaining copies of Maelan's very early work, but she thinks she's gotten better! You have been warned. Thoughts on the newer stuff always welcome. | |||||||
