Sara Fox grew up surrounded by stories and lived through one which changed the dynamic of her family forever. She carried the weight of this tale for thirty years, having promised her parents she would write it. Then the time was right. At last, she had the time to research and curate the stories, but what she found exceeded anything she could have invented. Her mother was right, you couldn’t make it up.

Sara brings to A Legacy Forged and the Seller & Son series something rare in historical fiction. She has original notes tracing memories back over 200 years. With over thirty years supporting her ex-army husband and as a former complementary health practitioner, with knowledge in healing, counselling and end-of-life care, she has a rich vein of life experience to tap into. Her experience gives her the ability to write complicated truths, and to shape raw family legend into a vivid, breathing narrative. Sara is one of the very few novelists who centre her novels in Birmingham.

When she isn't deep in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Sara can be found in the garden with a decent flat white or sharing a glass of fine wine or a tot of Irish whiskey, with her husband. They are both servants to their Border Collie, Flossie, who inspired a character in A Legacy Forged and a sassy cat, Teasel, who is waiting to find out which character she will inspire.
