Life and career change
Named after the tui, a noisy bird from her mother's homeland (New Zealand), Tui T. Sutherland was born in Caracas. She also lived in Asuncion, Miami, Santo Domingo and New Jersey as a child. She loved reading classic books with her sister Kari and always dreamed of becoming an author.
After finishing college Sutherland became an literary editor in Brooklyn, joining the team behind the Warriors cats books. When the series was successful, she decided to write books of her own, including the successful Wings of Fire dragon fantasy books. She eventually moved to Watertown, where she currently lives with her husband and two sons.[3]
She is known to enjoy holding live events where fans can interact with her and ask questions.
