about this author
Myrlin Ambrosia Hermes was born in 1975 to a pair of eccentric world-travellers who met in a '60s San Francisco avant-garde theatre troupe and took their daughter to live for a year on a commune in India before landing on the island of Maui, Hawaii, where she was raised.
She has a degree in English Literature and Theatre from Reed College and studied Creative Writing at Royal Holloway, University of London.
She is the author of the novel Careful What You Wish For, and has received grants and awards from the Arch & Bruce Brown Foundation, the Institute for Humane Studies, and the Arts Council England. Her non-literary creative projects include an original
collage-art Tarot deck, and she is a
two-time challenge winner at Craftster.org.
She currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where she is working on a historical novel about 17th-century playwright, spy, and proto-feminist rabble-rouser Aphra Behn.
