Elizabeth A. Vaughan is the author of ‘Warprize’, the first book in the Chronicle of the Warlands. The second book, titled ‘Warsworn’, will be released by Tor Books in April, 2006. Beth is currently working on Book Three of the series, and planning a new project for release in 2008. She still believes that the only good movies are the ones with gratuitous swords or lasers. Not to mention dragons. At the present, she is owned by three incredibly spoiled cats and lives in the Northwest Territory, on the outskirts of the Black Swamp, along Mad Anthony’s Trail on the banks of the Maumee River.
