Sarah M. Wasson

Sarah M. Wasson is an indie author of young adult fantasy and science fiction living in Henderson, Nevada. With five published novels, three published short stories and two published children’s picture books, she is best known for her alternate-history epic Chronicles of Atlantis series and the A Prophecy Foretold Novel Series.

Her stories fuse mythology, high-stakes adventure, and vivid world-building, earning praise for their cinematic scope and resilient teen protagonists.

Sarah’s voice is distinctly her own—rooted in the stark beauty of the desert Southwest that first ignited her imagination.

A self-taught writer, Sarah began publishing in 2007 and quickly built a loyal following through Kindle Unlimited and successful Kickstarter campaigns. When she’s not crafting dragon-filled realms or interstellar rebellions, she’s often found on the golf course, practicing falconry basics, grooming dogs in her 9 to 5, or watching her son play baseball—experiences that continually seep into her books.

Passionate about diverse voices and independent storytelling, Sarah champions new authors and loves helping readers discover their next favorite world. She runs IndieVerseBooks.com as a hub for her bibliography and resources for fellow creators.

Twins of Fate, her biggest release yet, brings swordplay, sassy familiars, found family, and twin heroes to Fantastical Realm’s inaugural lineup. For Sarah, every story is a doorway—and she’s determined to keep building bigger, bolder ones.

Taytshee' Ashshay

Taytshee’ Ashshay (pen name, spelled simply for English tongues) is Tee-lhi Ch’aa-she in Nuu-wee-ya’, and it means “Snow Bird.”
My father-in-law, a proud Coquille Indian Tribe elder, gifted me this name with a smile and a story.

Nuu-wee-ya’ (also written Nuu-da’ Mv-ne’) is the traditional language of the Tututni (Lower Rogue River) people, one of several Athabaskan-speaking bands along the southwestern Oregon coast. It belongs to the Pacific Coast Athabaskan branch of the larger Athabaskan (Na-Dené) language family—the same family that includes Navajo, Apache, Hupa, and, distantly, Tlingit up in Alaska.

My family tales speak of an Ojibwe great-grandmother—her name carried only in whispers, her spirit strong as birch.
Stories say a relative married into the Anishinaabe over two hundred years ago, wove his life with theirs, then brought his children south to Minnesota’s wild rice waters.
With the gentle rhythm of moccasins on snow and the scent of cedar in our blood.
