Sarah Xanxa Wallace (AKA Xanxa Symanah) has always been involved in creative writing. Before she learned to read and write, she would make up stories, telling them to anyone who would listen, or simply reciting them to herself when she lacked an audience.
She is also a poet, having had some of her poetry published in an anthology which was brought out by a Brasilian University publishing house. Some of her poems have also featured on drug abuse awareness websites, youth club websites and other creative communities online.
Her main area of work is contemporary fantasy. She has written seven fantasy novels with the collective title The Virian Chronicles, along with offshoot series collectively entitled The Virian Companions and The Vyrdigaan Prophecies. She has also written one detective novel and published a collection of her dark poetry. She is currently working on a new series of fantasy novels entitled The Feniyaan Archives.
She is married to the home-based progressive rock musician Ian Wallace (formerly known as Ian Raggatt) and she wrote a novella to accompany one of his albums, The Presence, telling the story of the concept in her own words. The novella was distributed with the first batch of CDs released but is now only available in ebook format.
Besides creative writing, she has a keen interest in fantasy and science-fiction movies and TV shows, travel, languages and music.

I am continuously amazed by the extent of the Virian Chronicles' universe. Each planet's culture is unique and with its own good and bad characteristics, loosely modelled on the cultures of Earth. My favourite character is Mechlah. I loved her transition from ex-Cyad mortal to the goddess of technology - powerful enough to liberate the captives of the planet she once called home. This series is reminiscent of Star Wars with its fantasy elements yet sci-fi/futuristic style.
