ⓘ About Kacey Ezell
In 1999, Kacey followed her parents into the “family business” and graduated from the US Air Force Academy before she entered into pilot training. Since dragons were in short supply at the time, she reasoned that flying aircraft was the next best thing. She earned her wings in 2001, and has got more than 2,500 hours flying in the Mi-17 and UH-1N helicopters. Kacey, since she was a small child, made stories up to tell her family and friends. In 2009, while she was deployed in Iraq, she wrote “Light”, a military themed supernatural story, which got accepted to Citizens, the Baen Books anthology. She got asked to consult on John Ringo’s novel “Strands of Sorrow” and she wrote the cover story for the Black Tide Rising anthology set in Ringo’s zombie apocalypse universe.
