edit data

Rebecca M. Krogman is an epic and dark fantasy author from Iowa, USA.

She writes most of her stories in Midgate, a medieval-inspired world of magic, mermaids, and wyverns, with settings spanning two continents and the sea between. Her work is best known for its deep characterization, emotional and sometimes tragic scenes that leave a mark, and elaborate world-building. When she's not writing about Midgate, she dabbles in dark fairy tale retellings and cookbooks. She will never apologize for describing a tree, as she finds trees to be fascinating and far more alive than they get credit for. ...more

Hope you all enjoy a day with your family and friends, dreaming a better dream.

That's what fantasy is all about: imagining a better way, a different world, one where the great evil can be overcome by those who believe and do what must be done. And that's why I love it!
