Eowyn Amberdrake is the pen-name of Melinda Sherbring.  This name is specifically for articles and artwork created for use in the historical recreation  and re-enactment milieu.
 
Eowyn is assumed to be a 7th c. Northumbrian scribe.  She apparently has descendants of the same name in several centuries, to explain the interests  expressed in items of later times.
