Vivienne Aulaire writes Christian portal fantasy and published her debut novel in 2023. “The Death of Hummingbird” is the first in her “Chronicles of the Seven Realms” series, but Vivienne has also published a spin-off novella set in the same universe, called “A Paladin’s Undeath.” Vivienne is obsessed with dragons, so of course they show up in all her stories. She’s also a proud auntie who’s trying to teach her nephew that life is more fun when you’re silly and creative. She writes, not only to show her readers that they’re loved unconditionally, but also encourages them to reclaim their joy and whimsy.
