[edit] Education

Sara attended Annesley College, in Wayville, a suburb of Adelaide. She studied for her BA while working as a Registered Nurse, and later completed her PhD in early modern English History. She became a lecturer in medieval history at La Trobe University, Bendigo. Whilst there she completed her first novel, BattleAxe, which launched her as a popular fantasy author in Australia, and later as an international success.

[edit] Career

Her works include the Axis trilogy, the Wayfarer Redemption trilogy, the Crucible trilogy and the Troy Game series. In the United States, and several European countries, the Axis Trilogy and the Wayfarer Redemption Trilogy were published as one six book series, called The Wayfarer Redemption series. It should also be noted that in the renamed six book series, the first book, BattleAxe, was retitled The Wayfarer Redemption.

The world of The Axis Trilogy, The Wayfarer Redemption, Beyond the Hanging Wall and Threshold is to be continued in the forthcoming Darkglass Mountain series.

Until the mid-2000s, she hosted a bulletin board on her website, which encouraged creative thinking and constructive criticism of others' work. The bulletin board was closed due to her other commitments, although many of its posters continue to contribute to other bulletin boards. Sara now maintains an online diary about the restoration project of her house and garden at Nonsuch in Tasmania.

[edit] Works

Note: In the USA, and most European countries, The Axis Trilogy and The Wayfarer Redemption have been combined into one six-book series, Wayfarer Redemption.
