About the Author
Although Sabrina
Rawson had been physically writing for two years the ideas that conceived her
first novel had been percolating in her mind for many years. In many ways she
found life experiences had influenced her story although written in fantasy
format.
Nelson Mandela’s
words inspired her:
“There is no
passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than
the one you are capable of living.”
No truer words
could have been said. After her first cancer battle four years ago, she was in
the mindset to survive, get back to my swing of things. Problem was she
couldn’t. She wasn’t the same person anymore. She relapsed by the end of the first
year. She survived that experience exhausted and has had multiple tumors pop up
ever since. To say her health presented a mental and physical challenge was
putting it mildly. She wanted to be more, do more, and was determined to
reinvent herself along the way.
What she left
behind after that first surgery, was her passion for life. Cancer didn’t take
that away, she put buried it along with her drive and ambition. Her creative
muse happily skipped right along with the rest of her dreams leaving her disconnected.
She had to rediscover herself and it was a slow personal process. Four years
post her first surgery and even if she had to do it all over again tomorrow, so
what! She refused to settle for a life less than what she could create for
herself.
Sabrina has
published works with Survivor’s Review Online Magazine and Titan InKorp Online
eMag. She published the two novels within a New Adult Urban Fantasy Romance
called A Novel of Four Realms, titled Briksanna’s Sacrifice (Book One) and
Katerina’s Hope (Book Two). Book three is due to publish early spring 2015.
Sabrina lives in
Sonoma County heart of the wine country of California enjoying life in the
rural land happily married to a wonderful supportive husband. You can always
find her reading a book or cooking a meal for her multitude of children.
