Award-winning author Starr Z. Davies is a Wisconsin native. From a young age, Starr has been obsessed with superheroes like Batman and Captain America, which inspired her debut novel, Ordinary. If Starr had a superpower, she would be an Empath, because she is an emotional sponge and easily relates to how others are feeling.

Years ago, Starr earned the nickname "Character Assassin" because she had a habit of utterly destroying her characters -- physically and emotionally. It's a badge she wears with honor.

Daughter of the Yellow Dragon, the first book in the Fractured Empire Saga, won the 2021 Pinnacle Achievement Award for outstanding historical fiction.

If you want to get to know her, you can join her secret Assassins' Guild: https://www.face

When I get stuck, I just force myself through the next chapter. Sometimes the chapter turns out great. Sometimes I end up cutting it out. But writer's block can be crippling if you don't push past it. (less)

It relieves a lot of my stress and it's a bit exhilarating. (less)

The Golden Cage by Kate L. Mary
"The Golden Cage is one of the most unique books I think I have ever read. It is definitely in a class all by itself. The world-building is superb, to say the least. When I started reading The Golden Cage I had an idea of what I thought it would be bu" Read more of this review »
Ordinary by Starr Z. Davies
"Ordinary, is anything but ordinary.

I really loved this book. The writing captivated me, and pulled me into the story, in a way that most of the books I have picked up recently haven't been able to do.

Desolation by Starr Z. Davies
"What an incredible read!

I've read Davies' Powers series, and loved it, so naturally I was excited to hear that Starr had another series in the same universe coming out.

But WOW this book caught me off guard.
