S. S. Dudley

Biography

S. S. Dudley grew up in Wyoming, USA, an avid reader and lover of the outdoors. He started his first book (an epic fantasy hand-written in with a blue fountain pen…) when he was 13, but never finished it. At some point (as his mother recently reminded him), he decided that he needed to go do something (like get a job) for a while before he could, or should, write.
So he went off and studied Spanish and Biology at the University of Wyoming, also earning a black-belt in karate and living for a semester in Bogotá, Colombia. Enthralled with science, he then went to the University of Illinois for graduate studies and spent time in Panamá and Antarctica. After graduating and spending three months backpacking through the orient with his wife, he took a job at the University of California conducting research on infectious diseases in Peru.
He now writes, lives and runs in Northern California with his wife and two children.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I am currently rewriting the sequel to Elf Hils, titled Fairy Trees (check out the awesome cover at my web-site), and responding to my editor's comments. Elf Hills is just the beginning of what I have slated for something around 6 books eventually. In Fairy Trees we learn a lot more about the hills and it gets more tense. More dragons, unicorns, and all sorts of fun fantasy elements.
Who are your favorite authors?
Many. For children's literature and those from whom I derive inspiration for my stories I include Roald Dahl, Kathryn Lasky, Kate DiCamillow, L. Frank Baum, J. R. R. Tolkien (The Hobbit), C. S. Lewis, E. B. White, Mary Pope Osborne, and others.
