Author
Sarah Zama
Bookseller in Verona (Italy), Sarah Zama has always lived surrounded by books. Always a fantasy reader and writer, she's recently found her home in the dieselpunk community.
In 2010 she started working at a trilogy set in Chicago in 1926, Ghost Trilogy, historically as accurate as possible but also (as all her stories are) definitely fantasy. Ghosts Through the Cracks, the first book she published in 2016, is a prequel to that trilogy.
In 2019, she started publishing a serial that she offers free on her blog. The Frozen Maze is a loose Snow White retelling set in 1924 Germany.
She's also active on Medium, where she writes about creative writing and JRR Tolkien.
