Kacey Ezell
About
Kacey Ezell was born in South Dakota in 1977. Her parents joined the US Air Force in 1984, and she grew up around the world on various military bases. When she was seven, her mother gave her a copy of Anne McCaffrey's Dragondrums, and shortly thereafter, Kacey decided that she wanted to be a dragonrider when she grew up. In 1999, she followed her parents into the "family business" and graduated from the United States Air Force Academy before going to pilot training. As 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 over 2500 hours in the UH-1N and Mi-17 helicopters.
From the time she was a small child, Kacey made up stories to tell to her friends and family. In 2009, while deployed to Iraq, she wrote the military-themed supernatural story "Light", which was accepted for publication in the Baen Books anthology Citizens.
She is the author of the 2-time Dragon Award nominated alternate history series "The Psyche of War" about psychic women dealing with... well... war. She wrote "The Romanov Rescue" (Baen) along with Tom Kratman and Justin Watson, with some help from Monalisa Foster. In addition, she and Christopher L. Smith are currently collaborating with John Ringo on a post-apocalyptic steampunk trilogy from Baen, The first book, "Gunpowder and Embers" came out in 2019. She is a core author of the Four Horseman Universe from Seventh Seal Press (Chris Kennedy Publishing), where she co-authored the Depik Trilogy with Marisa wolf, and the bestselling "Weaver" with Mark Wandrey. Finally, she and Larry Correia have edited "Noir Fatale," and "No Game For Knights," both bestselling noir anthologies from Baen Books.
