Douglas has been obsessed with fantasy since his dad gave him the three books in R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy, way back when he was in grade school.

Douglas currently lives in Ontario, Canada.

Holly Bargo has been writing stories since she learned the alphabet and could hold a pencil. She started submitting fantasy and science fiction short stories to magazines as a teenager, received encouraging feedback from editors, and finally received validation as a writer when she won a national writing contest with a flash fiction story titled "Silence." Her first book, an epic fantasy, was published in 1995 and promptly fizzled, and the publisher went belly up. She admits the book should never have been published. As happens to many people, the obligations of adulthood put Holly's literary ambitions on the back burner for many years until she self-published Rowan, the first book of the Tree of Life trilogy in 2014. Today, Holly writes romance and often mixes it with fantasy and science fiction. She has released over 20 titles since 2014, all available on Amazon. Holly Bargo, a pseudonym adopted from the registered name of a temperamental Appaloosa mare, has been married for over 30 years. She and her husband have two adult children, one living in Alabama and the other in Alaska. They live on a hobby farm in southwest Ohio with a menagerie of cats, horses, and one very big dog.
