Carysa LockeCarysa Locke is the pseudonym for Carysa Locke and MaLea Holt, two best friends who have been creating imaginary worlds together for more than twenty years. Carysa does the writing while MaLea creates the worlds. Carysa is a high school Englis teacher, and MaLea helps support families with special needs children. You might say, they work as super heroes in their day jobs! Their obsession with pirates and adventure goes back many years, when they started another hobby together-costuming. They regularly attend Ren-faires and Pirate Festivals. They currently reside in the Pacific Northwest with their families, where they still routinely roleplay and costume together, when they aren't too busy working on the next novel. Read More Read Less
