Elaine Isaak dropped away from art school after two and a half years to found Curious Characters, designing original stuffed animals and small-scale humorous or encouraging sculptures, and to follow her bliss: writing. Now she spitted her time between business and writing, and being the mother of a delightful 4-year old whose first phrase was "gargoyle book". Elaine lives in a semi-refurbished Victorian house with not nearly enough gingerbread, enclosed by masks and artifacts from around the world. Her debut fantasy novel, The Singer's Crown, came out in 2005 from Eos Books, with continuation, The Eunuch's Heir, to be published in fall of 2006.
