Schazaura Gill grew up in rural Montana using the mountains that surrounded her as imagination fuel. She wrote her first short story in sixth grade and published a poem through a contest that same year. 

"Stranger in the Pod" is her debut novel. She plans on writing book two of "The Secrets of the Nebula" series this year and a fantasy novel next year. She is also an accomplished author on Kindle Vella with her story, "The Equation of Children," which is a zombie themed story, and "Gerald, A Knight," which is a cozy fantasy story.

Currently, she still resides in Montana and can often be found meandering through mountains, drinking way too much coffee, or reading in inconvenient places. She has three children, a fish, a cat, and a super cool husband who she continually bounces ideas off of (whether he is actually listening or not).
