Tali’Zorah Xerxiah writes interactive fiction for children — books where the reader is a character, the page is a crossroads, and the story changes depending on what you decide to do.

She is the author of Red: The Interactive Series, the children’s arm of the Red universe. Her work puts young readers inside the story — hungry, curious, and just beginning to understand they have real choices and real power.

She believes children’s books should be brave. Not cruel — but honest about what’s out there, what’s inside, and what it feels like to be the one who has to decide.
