Sarah's Story

Born in Tasmania, Sarah has always loved words, confessing to reading dictionaries as a child and listening to parliament on the radio as a teenager. After completing a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Diploma of Education in the 80s, Sarah survived four months of a banking graduate traineeship in the big smoke (Sydney) before a restless energy drove her to the thrill and rush of sales. Unable to stick at anything longer than two years, she spread herself thin across a number of industries from medical to robotics. Seeking something more substantial, Sarah completed a law degree in her early thirties.

Twenty years as a lawyer followed, the highlight being honoured as Australia’s Corporate Lawyer of the Year in 2016.

But the creative world beckoned, the tug of words and meaning...before she knew it, she had cast off the lines to her legal career and plunged into a life of adventure and writing. She and her sailor husband, Dean, purchased a sailing catamaran, Live Louder. Sarah lives in Brisbane, Queensland but only when she's not aboard Live Louder.
