Sahar Sabati was the first born of three siblings and many cousins. Thrust into the role of head-of-the-brood at a very early age, she honed her imagination by creating stories and plot-lines that the cousins could play to all summer long. But soon, her interest in the paranormal took its toll on said brood. Worried by the long-term effects (as well as potential therapy costs) of this continual exposure to increasingly scary stories she was expertly weaving for their terrified ears, her mother gave her a typewriter – and a writer was born – books, screenplays, countless short stories, essays and two blogs later. Sahar joined the ranks of Blog-critics, delving into the world of reviews.
