Explore the vibrant life and captivating stories of the creator behind Zephera Travelle’s journey.
Let me tell you about someone truly magical—Aubrie Nixon. She’s one of our talented authors in Winterwolf Press, a creator of worlds, and an extraordinary storyteller (though she’ll be the first to admit she wishes she were Fae).
If you’ve read her Age of Endings trilogy, you know she’s a master at crafting dark, gritty, yet undeniably heartfelt fantasy. Her debut novel, Secret of Souls, introduces us to Zephera Travelle, a badass heroine navigating a world of shadows and light. And trust me, once you step into Aubrie’s imagination, you won’t want to leave.
And for those eager to explore more of the Age of Endings universe, don’t miss Requiem of Sorrow. This prequel follows Daegan Sorrowhand, a young scholar turned reluctant warrior, as he grapples with love, duty, and the encroaching darkness threatening his kingdom. It’s a tale of heartbreak, resilience, and the sacrifices demanded by destiny.
But let’s peel back the curtain a bit more. Aubrie isn’t just about slaying villains (on paper, of course). She’s an Extroverted Empath who radiates warmth and has this uncanny ability to connect with anyone. She calls it her “Journey of Awakening,” constantly evolving through meditation, dreamwalking, and an incredible sense of self-empowerment. These practices deeply influence her writing, allowing her to infuse her stories with introspection and a nuanced understanding of the human experience.
Aubrie’s life is full of quirks and charm when she’s not penning her next epic. She’s the proud mom of the “cutest demon topside” (her adorable son), a collector of creepy taxidermy animals (yes, you read that right), and a total Dragon Age fangirl. Seriously, her love for brooding anti-heroes and sassy heroines knows no bounds.
She’s also a dedicated book nerd—leading a YA/NA book club with over 200 members—and a Rome enthusiast. Of all the places she’s visited, the Eternal City has her heart. And if she could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, it’d be Alan Rickman (because, let’s be real, his voice is the definition of swoon-worthy).
Oh, and did I mention she’s juggling school, raising her little one, and working on her upcoming series Dark Desires? Talk about a superhero!
Aubrie’s stories, much like her personality, are layered, vibrant, and unapologetically real. For instance, in Secret of Souls, her characters grapple with moral ambiguities, blending intense action with moments of introspection, which makes the world feel both dynamic and deeply human. Whether you’re diving into her books or chatting with her about her favorite TV series (New Girl, anyone?), you’ll find a kindred spirit who’s as passionate about fantasy as she is about life.
Want to step into her world? Get lost in the magic and resilience of the Age of Endings trilogy, where a cast of unforgettable characters, like the cunning assassin Zephera Travelle, the loyal and enigmatic Zadkiel, and a crew of misfits including a mage extraordinaire, a girly city-guard, and a broody warrior, take you on a thrilling journey.
So, if you haven’t already, check out her work, grab a cozy blanket, and prepare to be swept away. You can learn more about Aubrie and her epic tales at Winterwolf Press and stay tuned for part two of this spotlight feature, where we look deeper into her creative journey!
