To those wondering, my name is pronounced sa-N-N-a. I grew up in the picturesque, rural Eastern Finland with four brothers, a painter mother and a bookseller father.​ A small-town-girl, I learned to love stories young, and I've scribbled them down ever since. I moved to the United States in my early twenties, first as a volunteer missionary guide for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the Historic Temple Square in Salt Lake City, and later to study English at the Brigham Young University.

 

Some of my favorite things are stormy days, chic cafes, and getting cozy with a good book. I have a black belt in taekwondo, and I will forever be a horse girl. I live in Springville, Utah, with my husband and our three daughters.
