Sarah Ball
Description
Sarah is a British writer who was born in Loughborough, Leicestershire in 1973 (a town famous for producing athletes and big bells!). Destined to be neither of these, she left school with a weird notion that she wanted to write and sat about writing poetry until necessity and concerned family members made her get a job.
She worked for a time as an assistant manager and chef at a local vegetarian café and during this time, met and married her husband David. When David's work relocated to Cheshire, Sarah found herself jobless, pregnant and bored. During those brief moments when she wasn't in the bathroom or eating Christmas cake, she set about writing her first novel, Nine Months. A few years later they moved down to Bath.
Whilst Sarah was pregnant with her second child she spent her time polishing up her novel, sending out chapters to agents and eating pineapple chunks whilst staring at the letterbox. After much waiting, she found an agent who liked it enough to pass it on to an editor, who in turn passed it on to Piatkus Books. Sarah (so excited that she had a baby!) finally realised that it was possible to plan a future indulging in her two favourite activities; bringing up her children Ellie and Sam and writing novels.
