I’m Sarah - the debut YA author of HOPE ABLAZE and many other forthcoming magical books inspired by speculative fiction, deep emotions, and otherworldly worlds. I love dreaming up faraway lands full of magical settings and deep emotions. I love playing around with words and maybe that's why I'm a storyteller haha! Some other fun facts. I love healthy baking. I love basketball to the point where it's toxic. I train in martial arts and I love manga and anime. I am on Tiktok (Booktok) so I like to meet others on there.
I love brewing teas but always forget to drink them so they end up being cold. I still drink them as I try to write my next novel.
I love meeting readers and writers alike so ... connect with me on social media. I'd love to get to know you!
