Background

Author Context: Sarah A. Parker

Sarah A. Parker is an internationally best-selling author from New Zealand who currently lives in Australia with her husband, dog, and three children. Her interest in the fantastical was fostered from a young age by her nana, who lived with Parker on their family farm in New Zealand. When Parker was young, she would read through her nana’s fairy books weekly and pretend she was immersed in similar worlds.

Under the name S. A. Parker, she self-published the Spawn of Darkness series (2019-2020). Under the name Sarah A. Parker, she then published the Crystal Bloom trilogy (2021-2023). Parker moved from self-publishing to traditional publishing due to the commercial success of her latest series starter, When the Moon Hatched (2024).

Soon after its release on Amazon, When the Moon Hatched became a widespread phenomenon due to TikTok. Quickly, Parker became overwhelmed with the amount of work it required to distribute the physical book in more countries and translations. Since its self-published release, When the Moon Hatched has been picked up by Harper Voyager and Avon Books with plans to translate the novel into over a dozen languages.
