E.M. Zolotor

E.M. Zolotor was born in 1995 and grew up in the Midwest. He was raised with a family library and was surrounded by books his entire life. He first carried around handwritten stories written on stacks of paper as a child and never stopped writing and drawing. Now, Ethan is an author, illustrator, and engineer. He went on to engineer formula-e cars, laser systems, hybrid- electric boats, and windmills—all the while working on his stories during late nights.

​

Inspired by fantasy literature, anime and manga, and western comics and cinema, E.M. Zolotor brought to life Hyperborea. The first conception started in 2010, but it sat in a notebook as other (never to be published) stories were written first. The first book, Severed Legacy, was released in 2019. The sequel, Traitor’s Path, is scheduled for a 2022 release.
