about: Sarah Mazza is a Melbourne based author of dark, dystopian sci-fi and historical fantasy novels. She grew up on Lord of the Rings. It was Isobelle Carmody’s Obernewtyn Chronicles that inspired her to write her first book, as she put down one after its cliff hanger ending and thought…I could write a book. A deep love of novels with outrageous plot twists and detailed world-building motivates her, and so her influences are George RR. Martin, N.K. Jemisin, Raymond E. Feist and Bernard Cornwell. Sarah Mazza is a mad scientist, or perhaps just a normal biochemist, and channels these interests and knowledge into her fiction. She has worked with death rays (irradiators for cancer research), mutants (GMO technology) and Breaking Bad style experimen Sarah Mazza is a Melbourne based author of dark, dystopian sci-fi and historical fantasy novels.

With chemicals that were explosive, radioactive and toxic, and at times her workwear has included gowns of lead, elbow length leather gloves and blast shields. Despite all this, nothing in this industry is quite as eccentric and wild as the sci-fi worlds inside her mind and that which she weaves into her novels.Website: www.sarahamazza.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/sarah.mazza.author/Amazon: amazon.com/author/sarahmazzaNewsletter: www.sarahamazza.com/subscribe.htm ...more
