About Me

Sarah Foster
I’ve been writing since I was 8, letting my writing grow up with me from children’s books to YA to Adult. I’ve been working on my novel Uneven Lines since 2011. Hopefully someday you’ll get to read it. Sometimes I write poetry, if the muse isn’t hogging my attention. I’m 35 and live in a studio apartment with my stand-up comedian husband. If you browse through my blog, you’ll definitely come across Jordan—he’s the 15-year-old narrator of my novel and my muse/the annoying voice in my head/the third love of my life. Mostly I write about…well, writing!
