Sarah McGuire

Sarah McGuire loves fairy tales and considers them the best way to step outside everyday life. They’re the easiest way, at least: her attempt at seven to reach Narnia through her parents’ closet failed.

She lives within sight of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, where she teaches high school creative writing and math classes with very interesting word problems. During the school year, she lives on coffee, chocolate, and afternoon naps that allow her to write late into the night. During the summer she loves having the extra time to travel and, of course, write.

Valiant is her first novel.
