Des M. Astor

Des M. Astor is a fantasy author who is fascinated with biology and melds this subject into her work as seamlessly as possible. She enjoys coming up with ways to explain fantasy creatures through biological means--and does so with her works, one of which is a dystopic urban fantasy novel series known as The Kingdoms of Blood. She takes the most pride in her twist on vampires, which are living humanoid entities, sister species of humans, that operate as beings reliant more on biological explanation than magical (though there's no absence of magic in her works either, of course!).
