Catherine Brogdon is the pen name of a Rhysling Award nominated poet and author who grew up under the scrub oaks of California’s Sierra Nevada foothills. Her first passions were drawing and building elaborate worlds in her imagination. Her love of fantasy and horror produced a writer of horror stories taking place in California’s Central Valley, high fantasy epics, and the lore to go with it. She currently works in a place that doesn’t interfere with her daydreams.
