MEET THE AUTHOR
M.T. Solomon
Born in the American South and raised in the remote wilderness of Alaska, M.T. Solomon has been writing books since she was six years old. She graduated from Portland State University in 2012, where her studies focused primarily on women writers throughout the world. Her debut novel, All the Fragile Hearts, was longlisted for the Realm Makers Realm Awards 2024 in both Fantasy and Debut categories. Solomon's writing takes cues from her childhood, where the vast setting of Alaska seemed just as much a character in her life story as she did.
