American novelist Alex Bledsoe crafts compelling urban fantasy and sword and sorcery fiction, bringing readers captivating series like Eddie LaCrosse, the Memphis Vampires, Tales of Tufa, and Tales of the Firefly Witch. With an impressive catalog of more than 20 novels and over 50 short stories, Bledsoe has established himself as a prolific voice in speculative fiction.

Amusingly, this Wisconsin community holds the distinction of being dubbed the "Troll Capital of the World."
