LONG BIO:
Jeanine Tullos Hennig has always possessed inveterate fascination in the myths and histories of other worlds and times. Despite having maintained a few professions in this world—equestrian, dancer, teacher, artist—she has never successfully managed to not be a storyteller. Ever.
Active in conventions and genre literature in the 70s/80s/90s, Jeanine returned to the fold five years ago with the publication of an award-winning series of historical fantasy novels. The Books of the Wode re-imagines the Robin Hood legends in a truly new way, with especial emphasis on queer and pagan perspectives. The finale of the series is due to release in 2020. Jeanine is also recipient of the 2018 Speculative Literature Foundation's Older Writers Grant.
Given a heritage of forest-dwelling peoples--Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Scots-Irish, the decision to make a home base in NW Washington State was a no-brainer. There Jeanine co-exists with her long-suffering and longstanding Amazing Spouse, a pair of equine freeloaders on retirement pensions, a wolfhound who alternates between leaping over the sofa and snoozing on it...
As well as a press gang of invisible 'friends' Who Will Not Be Silenced.
