Parissa Ebrahimzadeh

Parissa Ebrahimzadeh is an environmental attorney
by day and a writer by night. When she is not researching in the world of
renewable energy and sustainability, she is reading and writing fiction of all
genres. Parissa recently entered the
magical world of motherhood and is now obsessed with all things pregnancy and
parenting. As a result, Parissa has given up pretending that her Instagram feed
will now forever just be an endless slew of pictures of her son and is at peace
with that.

Parissa has an MFA from Antioch University and is
a VONA alum. She lives in San Diego with her husband and son while plotting how
to add more children to the mix.

What was your favorite childhood toy?

Legos! As a new immigrant to America, all my early
toys were bought at garage sales, and nothing was ever a full set. One year, I
got the gift I had been begging for: a full Legos set. I guarded those pieces
from my siblings and cousins with my life and have the scars to prove it.
