S. A. Carmody (Sarah) grew up in Rainhill, Merseyside, before moving to Leeds, UK, where she now lives with her family and a lively pack of dogs. A lifelong storyteller and observer of human nature, she studied Journalism as a mature student to legitimise her extreme nosiness, later running hyper-local news sites before moving into politics, communications, and campaigning. Passionate about both fiction and social commentary, she finally committed to finishing the many manuscripts she had started. Her published works include Why Gen X Had It All: Growing Up in Britain, The Little Book of First-World Problems, Rule Britannia & Beyond: Britain in the 90s, and modernised editions of Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier and Hocking’s Her Benny. She is also developing original time-travel fiction that blends history, nostalgia, and sharp human observation. Sarah writes to entertain, provoke thought, and spark conversation.
