Although Sara was born in Australia to British parents, she's lived in Nova Scotia, Canada for the majority of her life. She began writing when she was ten years old, and her poetry earned her a spot as a young author in local competition. After that, she moved on to writing short stories about a group of crime-fighting preteens called the Super Sleuths.
She took a detour from writing when she began junior high where she quickly became distracted and preoccupied by all things social, like hanging out with friends and dating boys... And she spent an awful lot of time on the phone.
After high school she completed a degree in business, a graduate diploma in human resources and her… degree in nursing as a member of the military. She returned to writing shortly after the birth of her two children. She uses her storytelling to escape from reality and live life through her young characters as they experience all the firsts in their lives.
