Farah Cook was born in Denmark, in the land of the Vikings. She grew up in Copenhagen, and had a rich and highly imaginary childhood, spending most of her time outdoors. At the age of twelve, she began writing several short stories to fuel her passion for storytelling. Farah graduated with a BA in Political Science from Lund University in Sweden and an MA in Arts from London Metropolitan University.

She has lived in many countries, including Germany and New Zealand, but settled in London, where she worked as a marketing manager for large financial conglomerates. Her passion for storytelling continued to grow over the years.
