Chandra has wanted to write fantastical tales since she was quite small and saw the animated adaptation of Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn. In fact, it was this story that inspired her first publication in Grade 1.

As a teenager, she went on to write numerous episodes for Star Trek and The X-Files, though, sadly, those never saw the light of day and wasted away on her closet floor. 

Since those days of being a closet screenwriter, Chandra went to university, moved from Canada to Turkey, returned to open a successful business with her partner in Edmonton, Alberta, had two lovely daughters, and completed her MLitt in Creative Writing at Glasgow University. She has taught creative writing to children and veterans, and her prose poetry has appeared in publications in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
