Leona Wisoker writes science-fantasy, edits, teaches, blogs, and occasionally reviews books, music, and food items. Her work is fueled equally by coffee and conviction. She often chooses reading material alphabetically rather than by subject or author, which has led her to read about aardvarks, birds, child-warriors, dragons, eggs, faeries, ghosts, horses, and many other random subjects.Leona's debut series, The Children of the Desert, is set in a world which has known neither King Arthur nor Christianity; a world still struggling through a number of basic moral and developmental issues. The beliefs and strengths of each character are tested to the limit in the course of multiple intersecting story arcs. And, of course, there's a mysterious ancient race in the background that could destroy all life on earth if they get sufficiently annoyed. Anything less would just be boring.The final result leaves room not only for serious questions but for moments of laughter, and inevitably involves coffee.Leona Wisoker's short stories have appeared in Futures: Fire to Fly, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Galactic Creatures, Sha'Daa: Pawns, and more. She can be found on Facebook at /wisokerwriting and on Twitter under @leonawisoker.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
