Meet S.R. Sarai

A Reading from Ch. 28 - “Mei and Magai”

Take a Look Inside! - You can read another chapter, “The Sword”

S.R. Sarai is a Chicagoan. Her pen name is an honor to her mother. After reading fantasy and science fiction for more than twenty-five years, the author decided that she would write about the Black, Native American, and Asians that she wanted to see in fantasy stories.

Broadly familiar with the genre - especially the knighthood genre - and with a background in history, she decided to write fiction about the southern hemisphere. Her in-depth study of African and Central Asian records and cultures led her to read such weighty and informative tomes as the Journals of African Civilizations. In addition to academic texts, she enjoys a variety of fantasy and science fiction authors.

Choosing Deceit is the first of four planned novels. The novels are set in a geographic area that readers familiar with the Sahel, East Africa, Middle East, North America, Central Asia and South Asia would quickly recognize. Its multicultural characters should be enjoyed by fantasy fiction readers of all backgrounds.
