Maeve Elderroot is the pen name of an ethnobotanist-turned-novelist who grew up on Ireland's west coast listening to fieldworkers talk about hedgerow lore. She studied plant ecology at Trinity College Dublin, spent a decade cataloging traditional remedies in the Burren and Devon, and later taught community herbalism in the Pacific Northwest. Her short fiction has appeared in small-press magazines and was shortlisted for the British Fantasy Society's newcomer award in 2019. When not writing, she restores native woodland, keeps too many moss terrariums, and hikes rain-soaked trails with two rescue greyhounds. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
