She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her husband. Growing up, she had an overactive imagination, dreaming up worlds, monsters, and magical guardian knights. Her favorite pastime as a child was listening to her grandfather tell her stories and folktales. His stories gave her a strong foundation in southwestern folk tales and an obsession with The Brothers Grimm and old legends. Fascinated by history and libraries, she has wanted to be a writer since she was eleven years old.<\/p><p>Raised near Bisbee Az, E.A.Cross learned to love a small but oddball town that cultivated her sense of fashion, coffee, and writing. To this day, living thousands of miles away, she still dreams of sitting for hours at the local coffee shop and spending her days writing in the shade on a bright Arizona day.<\/p><p>E.A.Cross interests include reading, writing (duh), running, and anything related to the creative arts. Her writing ranges from southwestern-based fantasy to dark fantasy romance. In the future, she hopes to write as many books as possible and get lost in entire worlds that she can bring to her audiences and explore the complexities of the human mind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b1dee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b1dee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.6.0 - 21-03-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eacross.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EACROSS-headshot-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7d7ce33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7d7ce33\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4623b36\" data-id=\"4623b36\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-acd002f\" data-id=\"acd002f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc3c9da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc3c9da\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-89fea91\" data-id=\"89fea91\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me EACROSS is a southwestern author and artist.
