Sara Creasy grew up in a tumbling-down Victorian house in the Midlands, UK, 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. Then she grew up — but she still plays with words. Marriage to an American (author M.C. Planck) resulted in a second intercontinental move, and she lived in Arizona for five years. She now lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband and daughter.
She writes SF adventure stories with a touch of romance. Song of Scarabaeus (2010) was nominated for the 2010 Philip K. Dick Award and the 2010 Aurealis Award for Best SF Novel. The sequel is Children of Scarabaeus (2011).
