Author

Sara Wright lives in a faraway galaxy with her best friends: imagination and creativity. She eats a steady diet of fantasy and science fiction with romance for dessert.

When she was young, she met her friend, imagination, in the form of books read to her by her mother. It fueled the visions she would later turn into her stories. Creativity was Sara’s dance partner for many years but has now been augmented to create books for the populations of Earth.

Earth is her favorite planet to vacation with her husband and their fur babies. When she isn’t traveling to faraway places or writing about them, she loves to cycle, hike, and sing her favorite songs.
