Born and raised in Alaska, Sierra dreamed up new worlds while skiing down mountains, snow-machining across frozen lakes, and, in the mosquito-laden summer, rollerblading for hours as characters sprang to life in her mind.

Now, residing in the lower 48, she more or less does the same, except, sometimes, people read her mind’s wild imaginings. Her debut novel, LOVE GALAXY, is romantic and political science fiction (with a touch of murder mystery) and is forthcoming in Spring 2026 with DAW Books in the US and Transworld PRH in the UK. Her short fiction can be found in venues such as Apex Magazine, The Dread Machine and Small Wonders Magazine.

She’s severely allergic to early mornings, can consistently be found cuddling her cats and goats (though never at the same time), will pick up kitchen knives to juggle for fun, and is adept at battling existential crises. You can perceive her on bluesky and instagram.
