Author Bio:
Sarah is a British novelist and has lived in the beautiful town of Malmesbury since 1985. She came to Wiltshire, like so many others, because her husband was in the Royal Air Force. She spends hours walking through the surrounding fields with her black labrador, Mabel and as she walks, she thinks about her next writing project.
Sarah studied English Literature at Birmingham University and went on to do a Creative Writing MA at Bath Spa University where she started to write her debut novel, ‘Aphrodite’s Child’ which was published at the beginning of 2014.
The story grew out of the family’s posting to Cyprus with the RAF in the early nineties. While there, Sarah realised it would make a great setting for a novel. With its microcosm of English life, the camp was a strange place to live. At that time, there was little or no communication with the UK and being somewhat cut off from the island too, life inside the camp became intensified and sometimes felt like a prolonged Mediterranean holiday. It was easy to dream up a dramatic storyline.
Having been an English teacher of both secondary level children and foreign business people, Sarah has now retired to concentrate on photography and writing.
Her three children have flown the nest but often come home for chaotic weekends of dog walks, laughter and noisy meals around the large kitchen table. The whole family, especially Peter her husband, have been very supportive and patient with Sarah’s late career change as a novelist, always willing to help with the plot or reading a new draft.
