Born in small town Iowa, Sapphire attended an all-girls Catholic school before following her dreams and moving to various locations across the country. She has worked in various careers including exotic dancer, massage therapist, dental hygienist and part-time librarian, which is where she discovered her love of writing. Today, she makes her home in West Las Vegas, Nevada, where she lives with her extraordinarily large collection of salt and pepper shakers and her pet iguana, Wilhelm.
