ⓘ About Peng Shepherd

Peng Shepherd is an American author who writes science fiction and fantasy fiction. Peng is best known for ‘The Book of M’, a novel set in a world where a plague that steals memories brings about disaster. She was also introduced to classical ballet fairly early on. And by the time she left high school, no one was particularly shocked when she decided to pursue the arts, eventually graduating from New York University with a Masters in Creative Writing. Even though she calls Arizona home, Peng has lived an adventurous and migratory life, having visited and lived in London, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur to mention but a few.
