Sienna Tristen is a writer and artist based out of Toronto. She is the author of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming, the flagship fantasy story of The Shale Project, and her first work of poetry, The Insomniac's Assistant, is available through Penrose Press. A purveyor of many skills and talents, she can also lead a yoga class, play you a tune on violin, speak to you in three and a half languages, fix your website, and climb forty feet in the air on a pair of silks.

Sienna earned her BA in Linguistics and Language Studies from Glendon Campus, York University, while working as an editor and layout designer for the campus newspaper. She's happy to rant to you about the second person plural pronoun, if you're into that sort of thing--but she'll also enjoy talks about everything from Ancient Egyptian mathematics to Zen Buddhism. She's an outgoing introvert who likes her fiction full of philosophy and asexual characters, and she's very keen to meet you.
