Lilly Lockwood (they/them) is a fantasy novelist, veterinary student, and aspiring hobbit. Born in southern California, Lilly now lives in western Michigan with their partner and three cats (Publius, Livia, and Pete). The world of Val'hoon was born out of a Pathfinder 2e game that they run for friends and after years of playing in the world, Lilly decided that it was high time to tell the stories of the beings inhabiting Val'hoon. In the precious free time that they have outside of vet school where they aren't writing, Lilly can be found playing board games and video games, hiking, or playing any kind of tabletop roleplaying game they can get their hands on.
