Soliloquy
Please share a little about yourself, your genres,
any other pen names you use.
I
am Bisi Leyton. I’ve be writing since I was eight and wrote my first novel when
I was twelve (it was an unabashed rip off of Sweet Valley High). I stopped
writing serious once I got in high school, but twenty years later, I’m back at
it.
Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming
release.
My
latest book is Wisteria. It is a Young Adult Paranormal romance set three years
after England has been overrun by zombies. It tells the story of a sixteen
girl, Wisteria who meets Bach, a boy who is immune to the virus and is able to
control the infected.
Have you ever based your book or characters on
actual events or people from your own life?
I
do all the time. As a rule, I try to include people who’ve had a positive
impact on me. Even the villains in my stories are sometimes based somehow
around people who I admire in some way.
Is there a theme or message in your work that you
would like readers to connect to?
My
main theme is I believe ordinary people in change the word. For this reason, I
want Wisteria to be average. Not the prettiest, fastest, strongest, but the one
who won’t back down from a problem (even if she created it).
Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that you
haven’t tackled yet?
Science
Fiction romance. I love star trek, the twilight zone and sliders (the list goes
on) and would love to do a more sci-fi focused romance, but not sure if or how
I will be able to do that.
If this book is part of a series…what is the next
book? Any details you can share?
This
is the first book in the Wisteria Series. The next book is called Mosroc and
should be out at the end of October. Not to give a way the end, but we learn a
lot more about why Bach is the way he his.
What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled
upcoming releases or works in progress?
I
am currently writing Wisteria Book Three (not title yet). And putting together
some initial outline for the YA Paranormal Romance following it.

Blurb/Book Description:
Sixteen year old Wisteria Kuti has two options—track the infected around the Isle of Smythe or leave the only known safe haven and face a world infested with flesh eating biters. But even with well-armed trackers, things go wrong and Wisteria ends up alone facing certain death, until she is rescued by the mysterious Bach. Uninfected, Bach is able to survive among the hordes of living dead.
Eighteen year old Bach, from a race known as The Family, has no interest in human affairs. He was sent here to complete his Great Walk and return home as a man—as a Sen Son. The Family regard humans as Dirt People, but Bach is drawn to this Terran girl, whom he has never seen before, but somehow knows.
Hunted by flesh eaters, cannibals, and the mysterious blood thirsty group called Red Phoenix, Wisteria and Bach make their way back to the Isle of Smythe, a community built on secrets and lies.
