Hello from Sara

Thank you for wanting to get to know me better. Let me share some things about me you won’t find in my back cover bio.

​I am Missouri-born, Kansas-planted and wholly Midwest-loyal.

​John Steinbeck was the first author who opened my eyes to the way stories of realistic people in realistic situations can have a profound impact on the reader. Harper Lee, Sandra Cisneros and Jan Karon reinforced it in my author’s soul. They have all influenced my writing in some way.

​My love for intergenerational stories likely stems from my childhood spent in a multigenerational rural community.

​​I have dreamed of being a novelist since middle school, when I both discovered John Steinbeck and was encouraged to pursue creative writing by my Language Arts teacher.

​The videos below capture two of the stories I love to tell: my journey to becoming a published author and my testimony of faith.

​I’d love to hear your story too! Feel free to reach out to me via the form below.

Warmly,

Sara Brunsvold
