Sapha Burnell is a Norwegian-Canadian speculative fiction author & poet chilling in the Pacific West Coast, and is a National Advocate for The Writers' Union of Canada (2016). Surrounded by artists & scientists, she bridges the gap between Left and Right brains on a daily basis. She yanked a grab-bag of English/Francophone Lit, Theatre, Film and Chemistry at Trinity Western University, then played Life-Hooky and volunteered in West Africa until the creativity bug bit hard and burrowed back under her skin. Writing her speculative fiction out of Vancouver, BC, she is currently celebrating the success of both her poetry collection Usurper Kings, and the publication of her magic realism novella Son of Abel.
