I’m Sarah James, 36, a mum of six who has always found comfort in the pages of a good story. Life can sometimes feel lonely and repetitive, and although I have been with my partner for many years, I often feel as though something is missing.

Reading and writing give me a place to escape, explore new emotions and create the excitement that everyday life sometimes lacks. I love stories filled with passion, complicated relationships, strong emotions and characters who are searching for something more. Writing is my little corner of freedom—a place where I can be completely myself.
