George Elmer

George Elmer is a dark urban fantasy author, which is awesome because she writes books. She lives in rural England, an excellent source of both potential horror stories and rich history to chuck into those horror stories. She’s written creepy stories since she knew what a pencil was for. It’s just taken her forever to finish the projects she starts. When she’s not writing, George is researching medieval history or planning how to kill off characters in violent and unusual ways.

There’s one version where he plays his lyre and the rock someone threw at him just refused to hit him. He was that great at it. These days, musicians have to work a lot harder if they want to be blessed enough to make rocks emote.
