About the Author

Elise Posledni's love for writing started at a young age when she wrote a retelling of The Lord of the Rings through the point of view of Bill the pony. Talk about an ambitious first fan fiction! From there, writing just became second nature. Elise is currently a bookkeeper by day and writer by weekend and very early mornings. She has short stories featured in the Creative Wisconsin Magazine and A Wisconsin Harvest of Horror anthology. A New Witch in the Northwoods is Elise’s debut novel.

Having lived in Wisconsin for most of her life, she loves incorporating the lifestyles of the small towns and truly spectacular natural areas into her writing. Elise enjoys hiking with her two rescue dogs, working with horses, gardening, and snowboarding.

Elise Posledni is the pen name for Jenna Dickson. Book awards include Top Ten Winner of the 2021 Launch Pad Prose Competition. She is a proud member of the Wisconsin Writers Association and the Chicago Writers Association. You can read more on her Substack blog Fantasy in Real Life.
