Biografia e Jornada do Autor

Sarah A. Parker’s path to authorship began far from the centers of commercial publishing. Raised in rural Wairarapa, New Zealand, she has described an idyllic childhood spent among pasture, trees, forts, and horses, even as she also struggled with reading early on and attended reading-recovery classes. Fantasy entered her life through the fairy and folklore books her grandmother shared with her, an influence Parker has continued to cite as foundational to her imagination. Her formal training was not in literature but in design; after studying fashion-related design, she spent time working at a fashion house in Milan before eventually relocating to Australia’s Gold Coast.
