If you could have one paranormal ability, what would it be?
I would love to have telekinesis!
Moving objects with my mind would be soooo cool! I spend too much time breaking
my concentration to get up and grab something that is across the desk or on the
other side of the room. If I could just float it toward myself with my mind…what
a timesaver that would be!
What
is one thing your readers would be most surprised to learn about you?
That I am very funny by nature. In my
writer’s critique group, we do writing prompts each meeting and mine are always
funny. But I don’t write particularly humorously in my novels. There are
moments here and there, sure, but overall, I wouldn’t call my writing comedic
by any stretch of the imagination. But, In reality, I am rarely serious.
When
writing descriptions of your hero/ine, what feature do you start with?
I always get the physical description
out of the way first. I need to be able to “see” my character before I can start
delving into the deeper layers and “asking” them more questions. Yes, I do talk
to the people I make up…is that so wrong?
Are
you a plotter or a pantser?
I am a pantser by nature, but I am
becoming more and more a PLANTSER….where I do some amount of character plotting
and planning on the front end, really developing and deepening the characters,
then I pants the story/plot.
Did
you learn anything from writing
this book? If so, what?
I did. This was the first book I wrote
with only 2 point of view characters. It was challenging and freeing at the
same time. There was less to keep up with, but I found it could be limiting,
too.

Links:
Sara
is originally from Middle Tennessee. After a short stint in Memphis, where she earned
a degree in Biology and began a career as both a Zoo Educator and a Sleep
Technician, she then followed a dream to work for a large zoo in Orlando, FL as
an Educator. Once she and her husband started their family, they moved back to
Middle Tennessee where they currently reside. Sara and her husband now enjoy a
full life with their three beautiful and very active children. She enjoys many
creative outlets – singing, piano, drawing, drama, and organizing anything.

even though she has enjoyed her career as a Zoo Educator, Sara's great love of

reader and, for many years, has been what she terms a “closet writer”. Her
travels and love of history have served to inspire her to write clean

among the Czech people and the landscapes of the country inspired her and

Off to War, Hope in Cripple Creek, and A
Convenient Risk and a member of ACFW.
