Nomads of Zyden is an exciting tale of sapphic swords & sorcery! When a tribe of ghoulish monsters wipes out her mountain clan, a fierce warrior named Marta sets out on a mission of revenge. But while she grew up fighting giant beasts in the frigid wastelands, she isn’t prepared for the culture shock of meeting people from the lowlands.
During her epic journey she befriends a jester, a fairy, and a woman with whom she shares a magical bond. Together they take on a much larger quest in which they must explore ancient temples and fight ruthless monsters, all to retrieve a set of artifacts that will help them defeat an all-powerful evil. Their time is short and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

What’s your favorite line from the book?
“Three. Four if you count your social life.” It's funny in context.
What challenges did you face when writing the book?
I was in the process of moving while trying to finish it, so free time was an issue.
Who designed your cover?

Is this a standalone novel, or part of a series?
Standalone, so far. But a sequel is not out of the question. It takes place in the same universe as the short story "Fairy Dust" in the collection "Geek Cutes," but you don't have to read the one to understand the other.

It’s available on Amazon and several other e-retailers:
