Elisabeth Hegmann is a speculative fiction writer whose work has always been informed richly and powerfully by music. She grew up in a family of classically trained dreamers and musicians, and despite brave attempts otherwise, she has failed to understand anything about the box, let alone how to fit inside it. She has a B.A. in creative writing from IU and an MFA in fiction from NCSU, where she was told that she would be a star – or at least develop a small cult following. In addition to slipstream stories, novellas, and novels, she writes librettos for musical stage works. Her work has been published in a variety of journals, produced on regional stages, and she’s won several small awards. The hounding from a cult following has been more elusive, but she’s out searching secret compounds for them at this very moment. She lives in her hometown of North Vernon, Indiana and teaches every imaginable kind of writing to tolerant college students.
