Biography

Fran LaPlaca is the author of the wildly popular (at least in her own mind) Keeper of the Way series, which includes Blade of Lightning and the brand new sequel, Keeper of Fire, both coming soon to Smashwords. Non-series novels include The Aduro and To Serve the High King. Short stories have appeared in the DAW anthologies Better Off Undead and Something Magic This Way Comes, and also in the original Warrior and Wisewoman and the Realms of Wonder anthology, Fantastic Companions. When not writing, she enjoys collecting anime action figures, wishing she could draw, and trying to find ways to disguise onions and mushrooms so that her children will eat them unknowingly.
