Sara Creasy grew up in a tumbling-down Victorian house in England, where she tapped out her first stories on a tiny blue typewriter. After
moving to southeastern Australia as a teenager, her love of all things
fantastical hooked her on science fiction. Meanwhile, in real life, a
biology degree led to work as an editor in the educational publishing
industry. She was associate editor of Australia's science fiction and
fantasy magazine Aurealis for several years, and her involvement
with the SF community inspired her to write her first novel, Song of
Scarabaeus. Marriage to an American resulted in a second
intercontinental move, and she now lives in Arizona.
