Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Eileen Troemel. I’m a midwest girl! I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and am the youngest of six. Aside from writing, I love to read and will read almost any genre, research genealogy, crochet, watch movies, and spend time with my family. I’ve got three adult daughters and six grand fur babies (all cats).

How did you hear about this event?

My middle daughter is a book dragon. She introduced me to this event as a reader and we just loved the energy at this event.

How many years have you attended?

We’ve attended for three years as readers and 2025 will be my first time as an author.

What genres do you write?

I write under three names – Eileen Troemel (obviously), Ava M Taylor, and RJ Stone. RJ Stone I have a few children’s books. Ava M Taylor is sensuous and steamy erotic romance. I tend to write in scifi fantasy, paranormal, contemporary genres. I do often use the Why Choose trope. Eileen Troemel has a variety of genres. Contemporary, scifi / fantasy, alternate history, historical (if you count the 90s as historical), paranormal, and poetry. I also have a meditation book out and lots of crochet patterns.

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

Seven Sisters. It’s an alien invasion, post apocalyptic, romance. It has a large cast and it’s a meshing of the two cultures while the alien males are trying to find their mates.

What is one fun fact about you?

While I love trees and nature, it does not love me. I’m allergic to a variety of trees and grasses.
