I can't believe a fan said this
Hi Reader,
I got a really nice compliment about my Thousand Day Queen short story. Here's what it said:
"Sarah, you're a fantastic writer. I would read anything you write, even your grocery list."
My grocery list? Well, alright...
Proof that authors' grocery lists are just as boring as you think. Not very sexy. Look, "mangoes" is even spelled wrong.
I never said I was perfect.
If you do want sexy, here's Erik from my (yet-to-be-published) book House of Smoke. He's pretty sexy. And angsty. And definitely doesn't want to be spending time with Isabel (hello forced proximity!)
I have publishing news about that project and will update you soon. Stay tuned!
IN OTHER NEWS here are the book fairs and newsletter swaps I'm participating in this week.
Clicking on the buttons and checking out the other books takes 2 seconds and helps me get into bigger and bigger fairs. Also, who knows, you might even find your next favorite read! This week it's all about characters who struggle with their dark sides. So....

(And by "a girl" I mean me)
Also, check out Bound to the Fae from K. Rose. If you read ebooks, it's part of the Realm of Midnight collection and comes with a ton of other full-length fantasy books for a super-discounted rate. If you want to get the biggest bang for your buck, this is a great deal.

P.S. I recorded a podcast episode with Mondo Street Social Club about anxiety and how it has impacted my journey with creativity and it's dropping sometime today. Interested in that? Respond to this email and I'll send you the link.
P.P.S. I gather up all the nice things people say and post them on Instagram stories. If you want to help me read my fan mail, you can follow me here.
P.P.P.S. *drawls* You can also send me fan mail. I don't mind.

My phone ran out of storage space. This isn't unusual. Most of you have probably had this issue at one point in time. What is unusual is that I've only had this phone for 6 months. It's basically a brand new phone. When I saw the little notification I clicked out of the reel I was in the middle of making, sighed, and tapped the little notification to see if I could clear up some storage space. Was it photos? No. Was it videos? Also no. The culprit was Instagram. Taking up 10 GB of space. And...
So in true Sarah fashion, it seemed like a good idea to make the kissing scene in Illusion of Stars spicier and NOT SHOW ANYONE until the book was published. I forget what originally gave me the idea. I was working on finalizing the book (after it had gone through copy edits and three rounds of proofreading) and somehow hit my head and awoke with a spicier kissing scene. I told this to a few choice friends: "Send it to me." -My friend and book coach Jourdan Gandy "Send it to me." -Alex...
I have a confession: I have been trying to lose followers on TikTok. It started off organically. I just wasn't posting enough to make myself grow and people naturally trickle off if you're not around. Then, as I watched the numbers drop lower and lower, it morphed into a morbid sort of curiosity: If I get below 1,000 followers, will I lose the link in bio feature? (The link in bio feature is only available to people with over 1,000 followers and I was hovering right around 1,115.) (Also, I...
