Courtney Alameda is a novelist, comic-book writer, and lifelong gamer. After almost fifteen years of writing professionally, there are few mediums, genres, and forms she hasn’t had the chance to work in, though the novel remains her favorite. She started playing World of Warcraft in 2015 and has been a denizen of Azeroth ever since. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she now lives in the northwestern United States with her husband, one Welsh corgi, two cats, three library rooms, and whatever monsters lurk in the rural darkness around her home.
