Sylvia Star Hemsley was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, USA. She has been telling stories all her life but began writing them down when she was 11 years old, and dystopian novels like The Hunger Games and Divergent were all the rage among her peers. Those early stories, both dystopian and fantasy, may never see the light of day, but it was not long before development began on the two projects she hopes to publish: The Star Series and The Tirastir Chronicles.
Sylvia studied creative writing and history at Southern Utah University, where she met her dear husband, and graduated from there with her Associate’s Degree before they moved back to the Salt Lake Valley. She is now pursuing her Bachelor’s in history at Utah Valley University, with a double minor in marketing and creative writing. She lives with her husband, their sweet dog Nova, and their wiggly baby boy, Fletcher, all of whom do their best to both distract her from and support her in her writing pursuits.
