Interview With Author Sarah Morales
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a novice author who took a leap of faith. After thirteen years as a dedicated teacher, I transitioned to stay-at-home mother of two girls. Cancer was not on the agenda. Turning to writing, I used my pain into a labor of love to share hope during the hard seasons in life. As a cancer survivor, I gained a renewal of faith. My journey has now taken a new and exciting turn as I embark on a career as an author, using my experiences to motivate and uplift others through writing. I always had a love for God, but I learned to fully surrender.
My latest novel , Shoes of Peace on the Desert Road was published in May 2024 with Christian Faith Publishing. It comes down to five things: God, faith, family, friends, and a positive attitude. I live in Deep South Texas with my loving husband, two precious daughters and two dogs, Max and Peaches. I enjoy reading, listening to music, and traveling.
