A. Zaykova loves to explore the deepest corners of faraway galaxies and of the human psyche alike.

As a second generation science fiction geek, she always liked to escape into imaginary worlds and has been writing for as long as she could hold a pen and storytelling since before then.

Growing up as a global nomad, she spent most of her adult life in New Zealand, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communication and spent a decade writing and managing media for central government. She currently lives in Australia with her husband, daughter, and rescue cat.
