MEET OUR SEMI-SAGES 

S. Faxon has completed fourteen fantasy novels and has seven more in the works, but the expanse of her creative horizons has been growing in recent years. Sarah is now developing a graphic novel series separate from the world of her fantasy novels and is also dabbling in a historical fiction that takes place in the age of steam. Sarah’s first published novel,  The Animal Court, is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format. The sequel to The Animal Court, Foreign & Domestic Affairs, has just been released in paperback and e-book format. Foreign & Domestic Affairs will be featured in the 54th annual San Diego Public Library's Local Author Showcase, debuting in January of 2020.

Sarah is a current member of the San Diego Writers & Editors Guild.  Two of Sarah's short stories were published in the San Diego Writers & Editors Guild Anthology, The Guilded Pen, available on Amazon.

​Theresa Halvorsen has never met a profanity she hasn’t enjoyed. She’s generally overly caffeinated and at times, wine soaked. She's the author of the Dad's Playbook to Labor and Birth, a non-fiction book for men about how to support their partner's through birth. Theresa has written hundreds of articles about pregnancy, birth and parenting, both for the internet and traditional publications. While she enjoys any form of writing, her heart belongs to speculative fiction, like the other sirens. 

When she's not working her job that pays the bills, or commuting through San Diego traffic, Theresa enjoys board games, geeky conventions, and reading. She loves meeting and assisting other writers, and being a Beta reader is a particular joy. Her favorite authors are Seanan McGuire, Jodi Taylor and Ilona Andrews, though she’ll read just about anything someone hands her. Her life goal is to give "Oh-My-Gosh-This-Book-Is-So-Good" joy to her readers. She lives in Temecula with her amazingly supportive husband and on occasion, her college age twins. ​
