About this ebook
Usurper Kings is an inspection of the feminine through time. Sapha Burnell's large scale poetic debut, on the surface, is a poetry collection in five Acts. However, without each poem's strength and individual beauty at that exact placement, the entire structure would fold in on itself. Move a piece, and the laws governing the works are turned on their heads. Without each work proclaiming its necessity, obstinate in its existence, Usurper Kings would serve no purpose, and become a litany of words rather than a treatise on cosmology and feminism throughout time and beyond our scope.
Available in all the popular digital formats, Usurper Kings awaits its initial print run in Spring/Summer 2014.

About Sapha:
"Sapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion." Cyberpunk/magic realism author & poet Sapha Burnell's works were dubbed "jaw-droppingly beautiful", "an insane, diabolical, kick-ass rollercoaster" and "hauntingly beautiful". Literary critic Ella J said, "I never thought a science fiction story could be so beautiful". Sapha writes on the interlock between mysticism, mythology and science with a pugilist's eye. The product of Vancouver's multiculturalism, Sapha steeped in divergent cultures, religious experiences and gender roles, until battling with traditional opinions became a daily war. On hiatus from the written word, she volunteered in West Africa, and returned to Canada with an international perspective. As an editor & literary theorist, Sapha's work focuses on comparative mythology & the ethics of futurism. On Twitch, Sapha critiques prose twice a week, and writes online once. A member of The Writers Union of Canada, Sapha lives in BC with their spouse and speaks on gender roles, cyberpunk, martial arts, comparative mythology, wine education & religion, when the #hallowesfam isn't chatting it up on discord or twitch.
Sapha Burnell
Cyberpunk + Myth "I never thought a work of science fiction could be so beautiful." Artisan Book Reviews Sapha Burnell is a Canadian novelist, who teethed on images of the Berlin Wall falling down. Caught between cultures in British Columbia, with two decades of humanitarian work focusing in West Africa, Sapha developed a love for cyberpunk, science fiction & comparative mythologies. Concentrating on emotive, action fuelled works for the adventurous adult, Sapha plays between beauty and grit, with impactful stories chock full of emotion and pugilism. The Lieben Cycle Book 1: NEON Lieben has been defined as "an insane, diabolical cyberpunk rollercoaster", and "A good blend of hard sci fi with a bit of space opera... couldn't put it down!".
