About the Author

Sabaa Tahit grew up in California's Mojave Desert at her family's eighteen-room motel. There, she spent her time devouring fantasy novels, raiding her brother's comic book stash, and playing guitar badly. She began writing An Ember in the Ashes while working nights as a newspaper editor. She likes thunderous indie rock, garnish socks, and all things nerd. Sabaa currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area  with her family.
