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. Marriage to an American resulted in a second intercontinental move, and she lived in Arizona for five years. She now lives in Melbourne, Australia.
"This brilliantly conceived debut heralds a significant new talent....Creasy's convincing scientific speculation, appealing characterizations, and eerie alien landscapes make this science fiction romance deeply satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Traditionally, readers of fantasy are looking for well-developed characters while SF fans want plot and action. Song of Scarabaeus definitely has both going for it." -- Robin Hobb"The tension never lets up, both in the action and between the characters, from the first page to the last." -- Trudi Canavan, New York Times bestselling author"A powerful debut...gripping characterization, non-stop action, fascinating biological speculation, and a dash of romance. Don't miss it!" -- Linnea Sinclair"A writer to watch. ... The biological speculation rings with truth and possibility, the terraforming-gone-wrong creates an environment of delicious creepiness, and Creasy's imaginatively-constructed universe draws the reader in." -- Vonda N. McIntyre
