Talia Gryphon makes her home in the Central US with her Elven children, several rescue dogs and cats, two lizards and a hedgehog. Her interest in both the Paranormal and in Paramortals has been lifelong, stemming from her first readings of Dracula, Frankenstein, Phantom of The Opera, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Trilby beginning around age eleven and nurtured by a love for Hammer Horror Classics. She is a member of Science Fiction Writers of America and Horror Writers of America.
