Chelsea Abdullah is an American-Kuwaiti author known for her fantasy works inspired by the rich storytelling traditions of her upbringing. Born and raised in Kuwait, she grew up immersed in tales of mysterious desert creatures and cunning, morally complex heroes, which later influenced her own writing. She holds an MA in English from Duquesne University and currently resides in New York.
Abdullah's debut novel, "The Stardust Thief," draws from the folklore and oral narratives of her childhood, blending adventure and myth into a vibrant fantasy world. Her writing often explores themes of wanderlust, identity, and the blurred lines between heroism and villainy. When not crafting her own stories, she enjoys video games, sketching characters, and collecting books beyond her shelf space.
