Award-winning author Sara Stamey has indulged her lifelong wanderlust with extended travels in out-of-the-way corners of the globe (inspiring some of her novels); operating a nuclear reactor at Hanford; treasure hunting and teaching scuba in the Caribbean and Honduras; and owning a farm in Southern Chile. Now resettled in her native Northwest Washington, she taught creative writing at Western Washington University. She stays grounded with her native-plant restoration project in her sprawling Squalicum Creek back yard, shared with wild critters and her cat, dog, and paleontologist husband Thor Hansen. Sara's "Cybers Wild Card" series of science fiction novels with Berkley/Ace/Putnam netted a Locus Best First Novels listing along with positive reviews from Publishers Weekly, SF Chronicle, and others. She is listed in databases as an early Cyberpunk author along with William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, which tickles her. More recently, her psychic-suspense novel ISLANDS won the Chanticleer Paranormal Suspense Award and The Hollywood Book Festival Genre Award, and is described by reviewers as "an intellectual thriller" and "a superior suspense novel....a fast read, a stomping vivid ride." Her near-future thriller THE ARIADNE CONNECTION, a Chanticleer Global Thriller Grand Prize winner and Cygnus Speculative Fiction award winner, draws on her travels through the Greek islands and research into pandemics and geomagnetic reversals. "A rocket-paced thrill ride that delivers complex, engaging characters in a laser-sharp plot... while tapping into the deep roots of mythological tradition." (Chanticleer Reviews) "Pulses with admirable energy." (William Dietrich, NY Times bestselling author) Praise for her novel PAUSE, first place winner of the Somerset Award for Women's Fiction and a Pulpwood Queens International Book Club selection: "Stamey's lovely, inspiring, often funny novel... will touch the hearts of readers." (Publishers Weekly Booklife) "A must-read novel about love, friendship, and killer hot flashes." (Mindy Klasky, bestselling author)
