Sarah Branson is the award-winning author of the four-book Pirates of New Earth series. Kat's presence in her life required her to learn to fly, fight and shoot. She looks forward to exploring what the next character has in store for her. Sarah first started conjuring stories of pirates when her family hopped a freighter to Australia when she was seven. She has since grown up, traveling the globe, raising a family, and working as a receptionist, retail clerk, writing tutor, and certified nurse midwife. She also taught science and history to middle school and high school students in the U.S., Brazil and Japan. Through these myriad experiences, she has developed a deep appreciation for people's strength and endurance and believes that badass women will inherit the earth. Sarah is still weaving pirate tales in her head and now, on paper, phone and computer, for your reading enjoyment. She draws on all of these experiences when creating stories about strong women and men finding adventure, love and their paths in worlds that are constantly changing. Sarah lives with her husband in Connecticut. For more information, please visit www.sarahbranson.com.
