Sela Carsen is an award-winning author of paranormal and sci-fi romance — with or without sex and dead bodies. Your pick. She maintains a permanent nerd-on for fairytales and mythology, and openly hoards reference books about obscure folklore. She also writes steamy contemporary romance as Silke Campion, penning hot, flirty, sweet and dirty romances with military veteran heroes who will gladly take control to ensure their heroines get their Happy Ever After. Born a wanderer, she’s been married to her own military hero for over twenty-five years, living and loving through dozens of cross-country and international moves with their two children and a menagerie of dogs and cats. She and her family have finally settled in the Midwest where — when she’s not head-down writing — she contemplates the serious issues of what to make for dinner with the ridiculous amount of basil she grows in her herb garden, what cocktail will go with it, and what weaving project she’s starting next.
