Cat Sparks was born in Sydney, Australia. Before settling down to do a PhD in YA climate change fiction, she worked as a graphic designer, photographer and media monitor amongst other (much less interesting) things. She's currently fiction editor of Cosmos Magazine and formerly manager of Agog! Press. Sixty-five of her short stories have been published since 2000. Her short story collection The Bride Price came out from Ticonderoga Publications in 2013. Right now she's putting the finishing touches on a novel, Lotus Blue. Cat's fiction is represented by Jill Grinberg Literary Management, New York.
