about me

I have written 13 children's picture books,
completed the two-part series "War of the Wastelands" which you can read a portion of here on Authonomy, and currently am working on an indefinite series called "The Witch"

When I am not not writing, excessively reading or painting, I am running around with my five year-old and my three year-old and getting into all kinds of trouble.

War of the Wastelands

Sara Sjoquist

Cover by Phil Partington

King Ronin must align with his enemies and free those enslaved before the prophecy unravels in the War of the Wastelands.

Second-born son King Ronin assumes the throne of Urla and sets in motion a dark prophecy cast from the time of his grandfather. His enemies of Turnam have begun to war internally for the throne and seek captives beyond their borders to increase their armies.

Kidnapped as young boys, brothers Rider and Storm are warriors trained in a foreign land. When General Ali grows weary of the war with his brothers, the men find themselves fighting side by side for their freedom. A new evil has come in search of souls to destroy, as prophesied by the sorcerer who now aids its evil course.

The Witch

Sara Sjoquist

Evelyn DeLaney needs to find the Orobial parchment in order to graduate, but she isn't the only one looking for it.

Evelyn Delaney is a witch. Like most other teenagers who have come into their awakening, she attends Serpahbane’s School for mages and witches. She was so close to finishing her final quest and graduating early when agent Raphael Burrows from the High Council of Magic interferes.

The Orobial Parchment is an ancient artifact imbued with magic. Evelyn and agent Burrows work together to find where it has disappeared. But they are not the only ones who want it. As if prolonging a simple quest and her graduation weren’t stressful enough, Evelyn's search may lead her back to the one person she never wanted to see again: her father.

Conversing with gruesome trolls, fighting demon lords, and hearing voices in your head are just part of an average day in the life of a teenage witch.

Very vivid and detailed desriptions you give. I also enjoy Reisa's voice, casual and easily read. Nice intriguing plot, love the ending of chapter one, kept me reading on.

Intriguing first couple of chapters. I will come back for more. I enjoy Jay's perspective and his youthful actions/voice are believeable and entertaining. I caught in chapter 1 when he hears the stifled scream and says "The hell was that" Should that read: "What the hell was that?" From the ge... view book

I really enjoy Rowan's voice and your use of dialogue. Well done. Subject matter is stuff we've all heard before, but you put a nice unique stamp on it. Good plot, intrigue and mystery galore, and also great descriptions. I'm putting it on my shelf. Sara War of the Wastelands view book

I'm not sure if I'm reading a funny national geographic with Morgan Freeman's voice in my head or what, but I still was irresistably drawn to finish reading about Brackie the Bat. I'll have to come back for more characters later. I would have to say that after reading your book summary in the begi... view book

Hmmmm you may have written some of the best characters I've come across in a while. Fantastic. Lots of good action and suspense. Like the world, like the conflict, like the moral dilemmas...no complaints. Sorry this is sorely lacking any usable critiques or improvement tips, but I guess that jus... view book
