M. H. Ayinde, Tasha Suri and Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson in conversation with Sarah Shaffi

Join authors M. H. Ayinde, Tasha Suri and Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson as they celebrate the release of A Song of Legends Lost!

M. H. Ayinde was born in London's East End. Her short fiction has been published in FIYAH Literary Magazine, Omenana, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and elsewhere, and she was the 2021 winner of the Future Worlds Prize. She is a runner, a lapsed martial artist and a screen time enthusiast. Modupe lives in London with three generations of her family and their Studio Ghibli obsession.

Tasha Suri is the World Fantasy Award winning author of The Burning Kingdoms Trilogy, The Books of Ambha Duology, What Souls Are Made Of and Doctor Who: The Cradle. Once a librarian, she is now a part-time writing tutor and a full-time cat and rabbit wrangler. She lives with her family in a mildly haunted house in London.

Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson is a science-fantasy author and co-founder of the organisation Impact of Omission. Her writing is invariably about Black people dismantling space empires, travelling through time, and saving the world - often simultaneously.
