title: The Altethlon Chronicles: The Queen's Hero and the Ubion Princess
author: Zee Gorman
description: Zee Gorman was born and raised in Southern China. Her love for fiction began at a very young age. By the time she started high school, she had read every single novel from the neighborhood novel rental. She then proceeded to seek out every foreign novel she could lay her hands on. She went on to College to study English and later took a career in teaching. Her passion for language and literature eventually led her into writing. She has written short stories, poems, and essays, and is mildly published in China. When she came to United States to further advance her education, she discovered the magical power of an entirely different kind of language - the computer language. That led her into a life-long career in information technology. And yet the writing bug has never left her ... Today, Zee Gorman lives in Northern California with her husband and her daughter. She is and will continue to be an IT manager by day and a fantasy fiction writer by night.
