Eliot Schrefer has probably already played many of you with his Hearthstone priest deck. (Keep an eye out for “YellowBonobo.”) When he’s not playing video games, he’s writing. Eliot is the author of Endangered, Threatened, and Rescued, survival stories about great apes and wartime which have twice been finalists for the National Book Award. He’s also written for the Spirit Animals series. He’s got a scar from when he was bitten by an ape, and is sort of a proud grandpa about his ape friends.
