Deborah A. Wolf has some personal knowledge of life as a barbarian warrior, having grown up in a wildlife refuge in Alaska. She later worked as an Arabic linguist for the U.S. Army. Before Wolf's formative years in Alaska, she spent some of her early years on a deserted island. Wolf has a love of different cultures where she can use those settings to create giant monsters, as well as flora and fauna. Deborah currently lives in Traverse City, Michigan.
