S.V. Farnsworth
Raised in a forest, S.V. Farnsworth thinks adventure is a cold steel knife in a leather sheath at her side. Nature rests her soul like nothing else. She often escapes across a meadow into the cover of the woods, finding comfort in sunlight filtered through a canopy of leaves. The closeness of trees speaks relief deeper than a cabin overlooking a hidden lake. If this is how you feel, then build your cabin across from hers, and enjoy the world as friends.
S.V. Farnsworth writes immersive deep-shelf fiction with noble characters battling dark worlds. She enjoys resonant high fantasy, space opera, and romantic suspense novels. She teaches ESL for Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri.
