Hi! I’m Zack (with a “K” - don’t forget it!): OBGYN, women’s health advocate, proud owner of two Aussiedoodles, and author of debut fantasy novel “The Midwizard of Cosconia.”
I've been to all 7 continents, speak fluent Spanish, and have delivered thousands of babies. I've read hundreds of fantasy books, and I feel like they're all missing one thing: accurate representation of pregnancy and childbearing!
Women’s health is severely underrepresented in fantasy literature (and the entire world in general, don’t even get me started on that). All of us were born at some point—I think, please tell me if you weren't—yet somehow we rarely see pregnant characters in fantasy books, and there are certainly very few depictions of labor and delivery. I'm about to change that!
