Her father was a planner & estimator for the US Air Force and Navy, and worked in Arab and Iranian aviation. Her Farsi-speaking mother was an advocate for women's rights in Tehran. Their family survived the 1979 Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Edsa People Power Revolution in the Philippines, and the Gulf War. Expat Scribe's parents sent her to Switzerland to prevent her from covering the Gulf War from a safer vantage point in the United Arab Emirates, but she returned in the middle of it.
This background places her in a unique position as both an insider and outsider in politically charged environments. Having grown up in one of the most enigmatic but misunderstood regions of the world, she developed a unique perspective on 21st-century blanket surveillance and cyber bullying by the authorities. She tapped into this history when she wrote her first novel. Surprisingly, the entities she writes about are not from totalitarian regimes but democratic societies.
Expat Scribe is also a member of the Solace Journal Team as an editor and writer. Visit their blog: solacejournal.com and her website: expatscribe.com
