Xianna Michaels is a poet, writer, artist, teacher and publisher. She creates what she calls medieval tapestries of verse in a process she likens to the ancient bardic traditions and illustrates them with her own pen and ink drawings. The Sorcerer Queen, scheduled for release in August, 2018, is the first of these to be published.
A former high school teacher and award-winning historical novelist, Xianna Michaels holds a Master of Arts degree in Linguistics and is the creator of The Alchemy of Illuminated Poetry® process and the Xoem® verse form. Realizing her writing style did not fit into a typical publishing category and knowing she had to share her stories with the world, Michaels founded her publishing company, Alcabal Press, LLC. She is the author of Mindel and the Misfit Dragons, Lily of the Valley, and most recently, The Alchemy of Illuminated Poetry®.
She and her husband have four grown children and are blessed with a plethora of grandchildren. They live in an old hacienda in Southern California.
