Kate Korsak is the author of The Vellichor Epic, a classic fantasy series inspired by Zelda and The Lord of the Rings! She loves all things fantasy, whimsical, and creative, and if there's a hobby you like, she's probably tried it. She spends her days in Tampa, Florida, world-building, collecting swords, and building LEGO with her husband (who is much better at it than she is).

Kate loves to stay at home where she has two cats, one dog, one husband, seven swords, twelve daggers, a Nintendo DSi, and more books than anyone could possibly read.

In addition to writing, Kate loves to make fantasy maps! She offers commissions to fellow authors, world-builders, and game masters and is happy to help bring their worlds to life!
