The Vishakanya's Choice (3 page)

Roshani Chokshi lives in the land of grits and boiled peanuts. Her family is ruled by a Great Pyrenees overlord known by the cryptic name of “Panda.” Her unpublished manuscript was a 2014 Daphne du Maurier finalist and she was a finalist in the 2014 Katha Fictions Contest. She studies law by day and writes fantasy by night. Her first novel,
The Star Touched Queen
, is forthcoming from Macmillan in 2016.

M Sereno is a queer Filipina artist and writer who lives in regional Australia with her partner and their two Pomeranians. She works in ink, watercolor, and words, and delights in creating fantastical art that turns ideas of beauty and monstrosity on their heads. She has created baybayin calligraphy paintings for private clients as well as commissions for publications such as Lackington's Magazine, Editions Jentayu, Alphabet of Embers, as well as the ebook cover for Crawford Award winner Zen Cho's short story collection Spirits Abroad.
