Bio
Ka-Yee Essoe, Ph.D. (Psychology, UCLA; Psychiatry Postdoc, Johns Hopkins Medicine) is an assistant professor at the University of Maine at Farmington. As a cognitive neuroscientist specialising in learning enhancement, she understands stories’ power to instil empathy, resilience, joy, and hope. She began writing novels to do just that.
As an East Asian immigrant with many intercultural friendships, rich cultural diversity permeates the worlds and conflicts she crafts in her epic fantasy novels with integral romance threads (or epic romantasy). Drawing on her personal experience and 10+ years mentoring others to navigate anxiety, disabilities, abuse, discrimination, trauma, and grief, her stories follow imperfect characters facing these struggles to encourage readers through their journeys and growth.
