Astrid Gaeldom
Astrid is a passionate fantasy writer, successful business owner, and homesteader in Texas, weaving rich tales of adventure and magic while embracing a life rooted in creativity and self-sufficiency.
It all began at the tender age of thirteen when her first idea blossomed into existence. Today, she continues to cultivate and expand upon this initial spark, pouring her heart and soul into creating stories that transport readers to far-off lands filled with wonder and adventure. With each turn of the page, Astrid’s vivid imagination weaves intricate worlds and characters that leave readers yearning for more.
Astrid treasures her role as a dedicated parent to two bright, creative, and curious little girls, who bring never-ending joy into her life. The everyday magic of family life often finds its way into her imaginative stories, blending the mundane with the fantastical in a beautiful tapestry of emotions. With each word she pens, she imbues her characters with the same deep love and unbreakable bonds that define her own world.
Mesmerized by the irresistible enchantment of fantasy, Astrid is constantly drawn to the limitless possibilities found in folklore, the untouched beauty of nature, and the boundless wonders of parenthood. Through her writing, she invites readers to take a leap into fantastical realms where courage is put to the test. With each turn of the page, mysteries unravel and intriguing characters—valiant heroes, complex anti-heroes, and fearsome monsters—come to life. Her words weave a spell that transports readers deep into worlds brimming with magic and imagination.
When not lost in the vibrant worlds of her imagination, Astrid can often be found working on her farm in the Texas countryside. She has a deep passion for homemade baked goods, finding joy in crafting everything from rustic sourdough loaves to delicate pastries. One day, she dreams of moving to the Scottish countryside with her two girls, where life moves at a gentler pace, and every sunrise brings the promise of new stories. On a quiet farm, Highland cows would graze in the misty fields, and in a charming village, she would open a cozy bookstore café—a space where the scent of fresh-baked bread and rich coffee mingles with the pages of well-loved books. There, amidst the hum of quiet conversations and the rustle of turning pages, she would craft her own tales, sharing them with the world while surrounded by family, community, and the magic of everyday life.
Until then, she continues to build her stories, one word at a time, inviting readers to step into worlds of wonder and imagination.
