Longoria Wolfe

Longoria Wolfe gained an education from a classical arts conservatory and California Institute of the Arts.

Evah & the Unscrupulous Thwargg was written with specific intent. “I wanted my first novel to reflect the important issues of our age. Multi-culturalism and feminine struggles had to be at the core of the work. In the novel there is a struggle of the sexes and cultural clashes facing modernity, but my main focus in the novel was the question of how personal power may develop through these struggles and adversities.”

This novel is set in otherworldly places as it is a sci-fi fantasy. About this, the author says, “When themes are taken to fantastic heights we’re able to have emotional distance. I wanted to get in contact with the dreamer inside my reader. There are still mysteries where physics and spiritual sciences hold tightly to question marks and potential. I wanted to deal in shades of fantasy both internal and external, where they meet and where they depart from one another.”

Wolfe’s influences include Charles Dickens, C. S. Lewis, Voltaire, Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Clive Barker as well as playwrights Samuel Beckett, August Wilson, Harold Pinter, and poets that arose from tremendous periods of global cultural change like Brecht and Federico Garcia Lorca.

Longoria Wolfe has one daughter and lives in California. “This novel was written as a letter to my daughter. It’s not written to have all the answers to life but to be thought-provoking and entertaining."
