Okay, now for the bio....

Many moons ago I was a scientist in a neuroscience lab where I got to play with brains and illegal drugs.

Now, I’m an award-winning indie author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction (so, basically still playing with brains and drugs) that's often set in an altered version of my hometown -- Portland, Oregon -- or the Pacific Northwest.

My fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired my two historical fantasy series, The Osteria Chronicles and my second series, Domna.

But all those ancient myths and angst-ridden heroes got a bit too serious for someone with a strange sense of humor and odd way of looking at the world.

So, while sitting at my grandmother’s funeral, my brain came up with an idea for a contemporary fantasy trilogy that’s filled with magic, mystery, snarky humor, and the dead who just won’t stay dead. That idea turned into The Cassie Black Trilogy, which has turned into a fan favorite.

I'm currently working on a new series where dragons do the sleuthing when people start getting bumped off at a very unusual circus.

When I’m not creating worlds or killing off characters, I can be found gardening, dreaming of my next travel adventure, working as an unpaid servant to four cats and two guinea pigs, or concocting something in the kitchen.

Before you wander off, be sure to grab my FREE series starters, The Trials of Hercules: Book One of the Osteria Chronicles; and Domna, Part One: The Sun God's Daughter.

Smashwords book reviews by Tammie Painter

  • An Introduction to Natural Beekeeping on May 04, 2013

    This is a handy little book to have when others ask you why you in the world you would want to keep bees. Chandler provides an excellent overview of why we need to change how we keep bees and why we should keep them. It's not an instruction book for beekeeping, but does provide a few pointers.
