AUTHOR BIO

Throughout her life, K.L. Kolarich never expected to become a bestselling epic fantasy author, nor one based out of Nashville, TN. But growing up in Metro Detroit, Kolarich developed a deep love for eclectic variety as well as the underappreciated. Both themes readily present throughout her treacherous series, The Haidren Legacy.

An individual plagued by sarcasm, conviction, and an ever-present distraction of fable and lore, K.L. Kolarich dreams in the day and writes through the night. Often hearing her characters argue in the background, Kolarich stifles the daily temptation to abandon reality and lose herself in the realm of Orynthia.

When fully present in the real world rather than another, Kolarich explores local waterfalls, habitually frequents the same Thai restaurant, adds to her ever-growing spice collection, and maintains a thoroughly messy kitchen for the sake of colorful well-seasoned feasts.

With too many cats and not nearly enough wine, Kolarich resides in the woods away from the noise, happily married.

 

When imagination stems from praise, writing becomes worship.

- K.L. Kolarich, 2021
