Elspeth Cooper
"Order is white and cold and passionless, driven by logic. Chaos is passion unfettered, both creative and destructive energies pursued indisciminatley."
Elspeth Cooper was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England. A fantasy reader from an early age, she began writing her own stories when still a child and never quite grew out of it.
In 2009, ill-health forced her to give up a 21-year career in IT and now she writes full-time. Songs of the Earth, published in 2011 by Gollancz, was her first novel, and the first in The Wild Hunt Quartet.
A sword-owning, tea-drinking imagineer, she lives in Northumberland with her husband and two cats in a house full of books.
