Well, that's me. I'm Sara, I live in Texas, and I write about murder. I dabble in both historical and contemporary, and right now I'm focusing on a mystery series set in alternate history Japan. The first book will be released in September 2020!

I'm a plotter, complete with outlines, scene cards, and an ever-present copy of Save the Cat on my desk. I overwrite like nobody's business, so it's a good thing I love editing!

I've been writing stories since I could hold a pencil, and its always been my dream to be an author. I studied English in college, with a minor in creative writing. I was a teacher for most of my professional working life, in public schools before moving to Japan to teach at a conversation school for three years. In Japan, I met my husband, and we moved back to the US after we got married.

I'm now a stay-at-home mom to a 6-year-old who keeps me busy with homeschooling and not-writing. Fortunately, she's coming to an age where she understands that my work is important to me, and she's learning to respect my writing hours.

Welcome to the website. I’ll be trying to spend a little more time here as the release of my first book draws nearer. Keep an eye out for updates!
