Born in Pensacola, Florida, Phaedra is the eldest of four children. She began writing in notebooks with her best friend in middle school. After leaving college for a job in the Graphic Arts industry, Phaedra continued her love of writing in her spare time and was lucky enough at a writer's conference to meet Dean Wesley Smith, who later became her writing mentor, along with his wife, the bestselling mystery/fantasy/romance/science fiction writer, Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
Phaedra lives in Atlanta, Georgia. When not writing, she and her daughter spend their time playing games, letterboxing, or watching anime.
I just discovered Phaedra Weldon a couple/few years ago and I'm totally in love with her character Zoe Martinique. Zoe is funny, silly, ditsy at times, lovable, sensible & senseless, stubborn & spontaneous and down right scary when she goes Wraith!
Dominion lived up to Weldon's reputation of entertaining and interesting. The only reason I give her four stars - instead of the five I normally give - is because I have such a hard time keeping up with all the names of the different levels (physical, ethereal...) as well as who is shadowed by who and what and all the names. It's a little annoying for us bad-memory folks who want to read through really fast 'cause they're enjoying it so much. I have to stop quite a bit to search my memory (each book follows the previous one perfectly) for the answer or flip back a few pages, etc.
Regardless of that I read about Zoe because the story, plot and writing are just that good!
If you're into syfy and other worldly type fantasy then you'll love Phaedra Weldon's books!
This is a wonderful series and the author outdoes herself with this latest installment .Zoe is left literally torn with grief and sorrow.Cannot wait for the next one
