Finding Sarah was born when I wanted to see if I could write a story that didn't depend on borrowing someone else's characters, which was all I was doing with my Highlander fanfiction.  I was still hanging at the iVillage short story board, and the weekly assignment was to write a 'hook' in no more than 250 words.  I think my submission was 118 words.  People seemed interested and wanted to know what happened next.  So did I. 

143,000 words later, I had the answer.  Of course I also had a LOT to learn about putting a novel together.  Thanks go to Barbara Parker who sat down with me at SleuthFest and told me about structure.  Numerous rewrites and title changes later, Sarah, at a trim 87,000 words, give or take, made her debut in 2006 when Cerridwen Press offered a contract.

Now, I've regained the rights, and Finding Sarah has been updated, with some previously unpublished material, and is available at most digital outlets.
