Nazanin SahebnassaghWhen Nazanin Sahebnassagh immigrated to Canada with her family as a girl of fifteen, "home" became an ever-shifting concept that often left her feeling buffeted between two worlds. It was around that time that an idea involving four sisters, each posessing the power of one of the four elements of air, earth, water and fire, took up residence in her mind.

Nazanin has a Bachelor of Arts in World Literature from Simon Fraser University and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. Her current home is now a paradise she shares in Vancouver with her partner in life and crime. Read More Read Less
