About the Author

Shameez Patel was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. She lives there with her husband, child, and three cats. During the day, she juggles her time between her daughter and working in STEM, but at night, she escapes to new worlds that often include magic and monsters and always have someone to fall in love with. Shameez fell in love with fiction, especially fantasy fiction, at a young age. Her parents fondly recall receiving her first handwritten story before the age of ten, titled The Treasures of Zombie Island, which surprisingly featured no zombies at all. She has been writing ever since.
