About the guest

S.G. Blaise was born and raised in Europe, where she wrote her first short story at the age of ten, inspired by a nightmare. Although she didn’t initially see herself as a writer and wasn’t fond of reading, her passion for books ignited at thirteen when she finally read a book recommended by her father. In 2012, a transformative road trip across Europe sparked an idea for a story. Despite English not being her first language, Blaise was determined to write her first book. Encouraged by her husband, she dedicated herself to writing and refining her craft. After attending workshops and joining critique groups, she spent years perfecting her manuscript, resulting in the successful launch of her writing career.
