Author bio
E.B. Wheeler grew up in Georgia and California, then built an academic life around the questions that make history feel close at hand. She studied history at Brigham Young University, with an English minor, before earning graduate degrees at Utah State University in early modern history and historic and cultural landscapes.
History is the thread that runs through almost everything she writes.
Wheeler's training includes early modern British religion and popular belief, subjects that show up naturally in stories about faith, family, rumor, and the uneasy line between public duty and private conviction. Before and alongside her novels, she wrote short stories, magazine pieces, and scripts for educational software. Her nonfiction essay about faith and life after a spinal cord injury also received recognition.
Her first novel, The Haunting of Springett Hall, arrived in 2015. It follows Lucy, an eighteen-year-old ghost in Victorian England, as she tries to recover the truth about her death with help from Philip, the one living person who can see her. The book blends a haunted house mystery, romance, and the problem of a past that won't stay buried. It won a Gold Quill Award for young adult fiction.
In Born to Treason, Wheeler turns to Elizabethan Wales. Joan Pryce is a Catholic in a country where her beliefs are dangerous, and a small act of resistance pulls her toward conspiracy, peril, and an old relationship complicated by years apart. The novel draws on Wheeler's interest in British religious history and asks what courage can look like when open rebellion is not an option.
Then came war.
With co-author Jeff Bateman, Wheeler wrote No Peace with the Dawn, a World War I novel about four young people from Utah whose lives diverge as the United States enters the conflict. Clara, Reed, Trudi, and Joseph each face different barriers, including sexism, prejudice, citizenship, loss, and the hard reality of service. The book received a Gold Quill Award, while Born to Treason was a Whitney Award finalist.
Wheeler also enjoys moving historical ideas into fantasy. The Dragons of Mayfair books, beginning with A Proper Dragon, imagine Regency England with elemental magic and human companions chosen by dragons. Her Westwood stories, including Wishwood and Moon Hollow, lean into old houses, family secrets, uneasy romances, and the feeling that something is moving just beyond the candlelight. A Proper Dragon was a Whitney Award finalist, and her later fantasy novel Cruel Magic won a Whitney Award for young adult fantasy.
Her nonfiction work stays close to the places and people she researches. Utah Women introduces readers to women who helped shape the state, while Mysteries of the Old West gathers unsolved cases, legends, missing people, and strange local history for younger readers.
Away from the page, Wheeler teaches Utah history at Utah State University and consults on historic preservation. She lives in Utah's mountains with her husband, children, and pets. Given extra hours, she says she'd spend them with a harp or hammered dulcimer, in the garden, on a trail, at an archery range, knitting, or reading.
