Boshra was raised in British Columbia, Canada, and after years of working as an expatriate teacher in Qatar, she has returned home to continue her career in education. She earned a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Royal Roads University, which proved a fateful blow to her belief in anything hierarchical. However, it did spark her desire to flee from the real world and start writing about other ones. When she is not working to earn a living, she enjoys the escape that reading and writing lend her. She also enjoys physical running—now back in Canada, where the air doesn’t feel like a convection oven, but the hills make up for it.
