About the Author

Sarah was born in a small town in Staffordshire to Ben and Antoinette and grew up in an idyllic location in a cottage in the woods, with horses, donkeys, goats, chickens and ducks, dogs and cats.

She was educated in Staffordshire too, but by her Secondary school her parents had found work commitments too difficult to keep the cottage and they moved into Stafford itself, where she lived near the railway line. Her grandmother lived with the family, and was a great influence on Sarah, and one of the characters in her novel, The Conspiracy Theorists Alphabet is based on her.
Sarah was encouraged by her A Level teacher to become a writer, and was fond of writing short stories. These became a collection of short stories called Five Reasons To Be A Star .
