Nastaran AghajaniNastaran Aghajani was born and grew up in Tehran at an old house that had a magical garden filled with persimmon trees, plane trees, grapevines, and rose bushes. There, she spent most of her time having fun with fairies, mothering her ducklings, squabling with her brother over soccer matches, listening to her sister play the piano and daydreaming. She moved to Dubai in 2010 to attend the University of Wollongong in Dubai, where she earned her MSHRM. After her graduation, she worked as an HR Coordinator, HR Officer, and HR Executive in the hotel industry for a few years. Publishing The Blue Susurration was like crossing mountains and oceans and stepping on the tail of a dragon for her. But even the latter couldn't discourage her. Because while writing the Gisiya Island Series, she discovered a forgotten part of herself. Apart from reading and writing, Nastaran greatly enjoys engaging in container gardening. She lives with her husband and daughter in Dubai. Read More Read Less
