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.
