Born the same year as the Russians launched Sputnik, I confidently expected that by the time I reached adulthood, the human race would have a pioneer colony on the Moon and be heading off towards Mars. So I was at a loss to know what to do once I realised the Final Frontier wasn’t an option and rather lost my head – I tried a lot of jobs I didn’t like and married a totally unsuitable man.
Now I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I’ll never leave Earth, I have a lovely time writing science fiction and fantasy novels. I live on the English south coast with a wonderful husband and a ridiculous number of books.

Sarah.. Thanks very michael for the Reblog of Ordinary Stories and for your kind words in your introduction. Much appreciated Thom (you may be interested to know that Mary Gauthier approved and linked it to her twitter feed).

I’ve nominated you for the Real Neat Blog Award: https://thetattooedbookgeek.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/real-neat-blog-award/
Thank you so much for your kind nomination:)).
Pleased to meet you.
Hi Sarah – I also nominated you for an award – sorry, I didn’t spot you were on The Tattooed Book Geek’s list – I thought I’d checked it tool So, obviously just ignore me – unless of course you have an absolute burning desire to answer yet more obtrusive questions from this nosey blogger! (in which case press on) LOL
Lynn 😀
Thank you so much for thinking of me:)). I feel terrible that I haven’t yet done this, but now that I’ve finished college for the year, I should have a bit more time. So… if it’s alright with you – I’ll probably roll them both together and answer a selection of questions from both you and Drew. Have a great week:)

I’ve fed way too many slugs – finally gave up the fight. Nice to meet you!
Yes… although after years and years of battling the critters, I think my garden wildlife might FINALLY beginning to catch up! But we have been here now for 23 years and I’ve been gardening organically all that time… I don’t recommend it as a strategy.
Hello, if you are interested in writing short stories and poems (both in English and vernacular) please reply to this mail. I am an editor at StoryMirror, a writing website.
Thank you for your kind invitation, but right now I have too much going on to write anything else.
Lovely to meet you, Sarah!
And you, Sassy:)). Thank you for dropping in!
Hi Sarah.. If you would like me to promote your books and put them on the shelves of my cafe and bookstore (they link directly to Amazon) please email me on sally.cronin@moyhill.com .. it is free and it would be good to have some more SF on the shelves. I can get everything I need for the initial promotion from here and Amazon… Just need your top three social media links. best wishes Sally

Do you accept review requests? Thank you.
No, I don’t… I enjoy reading and blogging, but as you must have gathered – I’m not anything like as organised and focused about it as many of the bloggers we both know:). Writing is my main activity, and I also teach, so it’s far more of a hobby.

Thank you, Anne! Apologies for the delay in responding – for some random reason your lovely comment got shunted into my Pending pile and I’ve only just come across it.
