Zarabeth Abbey is a pen name of
Susan R. Matthews, SFWA member & Nebula-nominated author of the science fiction series Under Jurisdiction.
Her interest in the history and religion of the high Pamir, Central Asia, and westernmost China date from living in India when she was a girl. In her family a streak of mystical communion with the Divine (“plugging directly into the power source”) was a respected, if not universal, experience.

Talulah J. Sullivan
BLOOD INDIGO

STARWALKERS
(forthcoming)
~~~~~
Talulah has been a pro equestrian, a dancer, an actor, an activist, and a teacher… yet she’s never managed to not be a storyteller. Ever.
Blood Indigo is the first (but not the last!) of her novels seeking to weave a ‘tale basket’ in the proud example of her Choctaw and Chickasaw grandmothers. Her works reflect worlds both old and new, cultures both fantastic and familiar, and promise an immersive, subversive experience.
