ABOUT E.S. OLIVER
E.S. Oliver lives in the northern Colorado Rockies with her husband, a gaggle of rescue dogs, alpacas, and exceedingly noisy ducks.
She is the author of the dark urban fantasy/thriller novel, "Waters of Wyrd: Chooser of the Slain". Now out in paperback, hardcover, audiobook and e-book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, several Colorado indie bookstores, and your favorite indie bookshop's web store.
Her other works have appeared in The Las Vegas Sun, Beyond Words Literary Magazine, The Dillydoun Review, Liminal Spaces Magazine, Line of Advance, Alien Buddha Zine, and "This Book is a Work".
In 2021, she wrote a middle-grade Sci-Fi Fantasy novella titled,The Invention of Liberation, which was voted honorable mention in L. Ron Hubbard's prestigious Writers of the Future contest. It has since been published under the pen name RE Joyce—an homage to her late grandmother, Renee Joyce, who quietly got a poem of ES Oliver's published when she was just a teenager. It's available on Amazon or at Shady Grove Creative.
Works in progress: "Waters of Wyrd: Helheim" (Adult Dark Fantasy) and "The Raven Queen" (Adult Dark Fantasy inspired by the true story and not-so-true Croatian folklore of Barbora Celjska)
