About Sonya Bateman

Sonya Bateman is an American published author. She also goes by the pen names of Leon Andrews, S.N. Bateman, and S.W. Vaughn. She lives in upstate New York, where she says there are just two seasons, winter and construction.

She likes swimming and reading, and only wishes that there were some way that she could combine the two. She is an award-winning copywriter as well as novelist. She also happens to be a fantasy movie enthusiast (as long as the films are from the mid-eighties to the late nineties), a hoarder of coffee, and a cool rock collector. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Aftermagic Books series, Sonya Bateman has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
