Sezin Koehler

 

/biography

about

Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka to a Wisconsinite mother and Sri Lankan father, Sezin spent the majority of her childhood in Asia and Africa on account of her mother's job with UNICEF.

 

From Sri Lanka, Zambia, Thailand, Pakistan, and then India by the time she was 18, and then on to the USA for college where she started out as a theatre major and ended up with a degree in anthropology.

After the tragic death of her friend Wendy Soltero in a random shooting in Hollywood, Sezin remained in the US to testify against the murderers and after that two year nightmare was over she moved to Europe, where her mum had recently been posted.

The next few years saw Sezin in Switzerland, France, and Spain, where she met her husband and they continued down their own Yellow Brick Road of travel from Spain, to Turkey, then Czech Republic, Germany, and finally back to his home region of Southeast Florida.

 

Writer by trade—you may have read Sezin's viral article comparing the lines of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines to what actual rapists say—Sezin is currently finishing up the sequel to her first novel American Monsters, a postmodern feminist horror treatist on violence against women and girls in the United States. Crime Rave picks up right where the first book left off, but is written with first readers in mind and has become a crime-horror hybrid.

 

Sezin now calls a tiny little Florida beach town with the Stephen King-esque moniker of Lighthouse Point home.
