Erin M. Klitzke has been writing since she was an adolescent, though most of those early works will never see the light of day. She got her BA in history and anthropology from Grand Valley State University and her MA in history from Oakland University, and much to her mother’s occasional dismay, what she does with those degrees is write fiction.

She lives in Detroit’s northern suburbs and enjoys reading, sewing, gaming, and renaissance festivals when she’s not creating her own worlds. You can find her on the web at www.embklitzke.com, e-mail her at doc (at) embklitzke (dot) com, and follow her on Twitter at @EMBKDoc.

• Where Loyalties Lie (A Frequent Traveller's Guide to Jovan: Volume I) on Sep. 06, 2011
  
  I am fascinated by and love studying the Romans, especially from the late Republic and early Imperial eras, then toward the fall of the empire (mostly 5th century). Part of what drew me to the Traveller's Guide was the very clear Imperial inspiration for Jovan. If you have even a passing knowledge of the history of the Roman Empire, or European history as a larger whole, your mind is awake and brimming with the possibilities of what the adventures undertaken by the imperial Uncles might lead to. Names like Gallica harken back to the troubles faced by Rome consistently in Gaul and makes you sit up a little straighter and lean forward, waiting to see what their travels are going to reveal about their world and the state of the empire. Reading the first entry, I came to like both of the brothers very much. The descriptions are very vivid and full of personification--a fortress hunches and broods over the town below and the like. I followed this book as webfiction, and I'm very glad that it's been released as an ebook now. It's a great read. Anyone who's worried about the "gay" romance in the book needn't worry: it's tastefully done and as a reader, I was more interested in the emotion that Black brought out in her characters as she put them through their paces than the actual intimate acts. All in all, well worth the time to read.
  
• Exile's Burn on April 03, 2012
  
  When I initially reaad Exile's Burn, I found myself staying up until one and two thirty in the morning just so I could find out what happens next. Reading Exile’s Burn was one of my first forays into indie fiction. As a result of reading Corvidae’s book, I’m pretty sure I’m hooked for good. Hope to see an ebook release of the sequel, Fire in the Void, soon! The story itself did have some predictable elements, but the predictability led to dread and heart-pounding anticipation about what was going to happen when the story’s characters finally figured out that you, the reader, were right and they were wrong. The death of various characters never took place without reason, which I like in a story, and there was never violence simply for the sake of violence. It was a fantastic read, and one I’d read again. Very excited that it's finally available in ebook, since I originally read it in PDF format.
