I’m L.T. Elliot, a fantasy writer with a love for characters who feel like friends, and rich, vivid settings. Traveling has revealed just how much depth there is in different and distant places.

I’ve had the lucky pleasure of seeing too little of Italy and Greece (I took the picture of the blue doors in Oia) and nothing compares with walking over two-thousand-year-old dusty streets with the ghosts of people who once lived there. I’ve clambered over ancient Mayan ruins in the sweltering jungle and my soul will never rest until I’ve explored Asia and watched the blossoms spin off of a sakura tree.

For now, I content myself with fat books and civilizations both real and imaginary. I read to survive. I write to live.
