Zena Shapter writes from a castle in a flying city hidden by a thunder-cloud. She's the winner of a dozen national writing competitions including a Ditmar Award, the Glen Miles Short Story Prize and the Australian Horror Writers' Association Award for Short Fiction. Her stories have appeared in collections such as the Hugo-nominated 'Sci Phi Journal', 'Midnight Echo' (as well as their 'best of' anthology), 'Award-Winning Australian Writing' (twice), and 'Antipodean SF'. Reviewer for Tangent Online Lillian Csernica has referred to her as a writer who ""deserves your attention"". In 2016 her co-authored science fiction novel 'Into Tordon' for 8-14 year olds was published by MidnightSun Publishing and distributed into school libraries by Scholastic under the pseudonym Z.F. Kingbolt. She's also the founder and leader of Sydney's award-winning Northern Beaches Writers' Group, with whom she's written several speculative adventure books for young readers to raise money for The Kids' Cancer Project. When not writing, Zena is a writing mentor, editor, tutor, competition judge, book creator, and workshop presenter. She enjoys travelling, wine, movies, chocolate, frogs and connecting with fellow story nerds online.
""Zena Shapter's debut novel will hold you tight from start to nish. With characters as convoluted as the faultless plot, Towards White expands the mind, and the mind's eye, as you track the journey of life, death, love and deception. Suspense that takes you to the brink, then pushes you over. The world building was perfection. Highly recommended!"" --Kim Falconer, author, The Blood in the Beginning
