Dr. Sally Ember is a prolific writer and author, having been passionate about writing since she was nine years old. She has won awards for her poetry, stories, songs, and plays. Her writing often blurs the lines between fact and fiction, and she incorporates elements of utopian science fiction, Buddhism, paranormal, and romance in her work.
Ember's life has been marked by change, having been born Jewish on the cusp of Leo and Virgo. She began meditating in her teens and has since incorporated her practice into her writing. In her professional life, she has worked as an educator and upper-level manager in various colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations across the United States before returning to her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, in 2014. Ember has a BA in Elementary Education, a Master's (M.Ed.), and a doctorate in education (Ed.D.).
