Urna Semper began writing dystopian future fantasies of a devastated world as a teenager. The problem was that she could write a good first third of a novel with the best of them, but when the critical actions in the middle arrived, she found herself unable to get to grips with the story arc or come to satisfying conclusions. More ominously, her beautiful heroines tended to fall into distressing situations of pleasure and servitude, and Miss Semper became more interested in how they failed to avoid their unlucky fates than in writing about how they triumphed.
Putting her pen away, a mysterious writing hiatus followed. Becoming an aficionado of distressed damsel erotica, she struggled to find what she wanted to read. The frustration led to sudden inspiration as she decided that she write her own. The frustration of being unable to find precisely what she longed to read became the catalyst for her creative resurgence. Revisiting her romantic world of tomorrow, she pushed it out from the depths of the future to the depths of space, where she created a world she named Iphigenia, where sensual clones labor to build a better world for born humans, and where born women often become intertwined with that enigmatic caste, confronting their own vulnerabilities and their own desires in an ever-evolving narrative.
Further, as she explores the world of Iphigenia and the planets around it, she finds her world has grown more elaborate, more complex, more dangerous, more beautiful than she had ever expected.
Urna Semper's unique blend of dystopian fantasy, sensual exploration, science fiction, and her unflinching focus on the darker corners of human existence, is earning her a dedicated following of readers who appreciate her fearless approach to storytelling. She continues to explore the intricate dynamics of power and vulnerability, weaving complex tales in the world of Iphigenia and beyond, leaving readers captivated by the depths of her imagination.
