A. C. Oliphant lives near the snow-capped mountains in northern Utah with her incredible husband and two delightfully insane cats. Passionate about stories with strong character development, she loves reading and writing books that explore the gritty complexities of character’s lives and transformative journeys without succumbing to overly gratuitous depictions of language, sex, and violence.
Inspired by the big enchiladas of science fiction and fantasy, A. C. looks up to the likes of Dan Wells, Brandon Sanderson, Kevin J. Anderson, Andy Weir, and David Farland. She strives to echo their storytelling prowess using her own voice and writing style.
In addition to her love of science fiction and fantasy novels, she has found an adoration for the visual narrative in manga and graphic novels. A.C. is chasing both these passions by immersing herself in two upcoming projects. The first, a post-apocalyptic adult science fiction trilogy exploring the complexities of character redemption. The second, a young adult urban fantasy graphic novel series, created in collaboration with the talented artist-wizard Annabelle Ok, about a young woman fighting monsters alongside her childhood stuffed animal.
When she’s not reading or writing, A. C. can be found gaming with her family, baking chocolate souffles, or creating ugly embroidery hoops.
