À propos de l'auteur

Sara Thomson was born in the north east of England in 1978 and grew up with divorced parents, and subsequently a step family. She has written all her life and the first book she ever penned was a picture book for her 2 year old little sister when she was 7. She painstakingly drew tiny pictures of little hedgehogs and animals, stuck the whole thing together with sellotape and presented this work to a delighted little girl. It was around this time, she realised that she couldn't draw, this talent had passed to this same sister who had received the little story book with such joy. Growing up she always had a secret desire to write books, but hid this away because she knew it was one of those dreams where people say things like; "Yes, but what real job are you going to do?" However, after getting married young and having four children over the next 15 year period, Sara realised that life is far too short to listen to that inner demon that tells you not to follow your dreams, and began writing Anna's Home Front following a three year stint at University studying a BA Hons in English with Creative Writing. Now, finally she is following her dreams and has plans to write many more books including the follow-up to Anna's Home Front titled, The Prisoner.
