About the Author

Sarah Speedie lives near the beach in Melbourne, Australia with her husband, two children, and her fur-baby, Dutch, a bulldog who loves stand-up paddle-boarding! Sarah has always been a dreamer. As a child, when she didn’t have her head in a book, reading, she had a pen in her hand, writing. After finishing university, Sarah followed a sensible path and worked in finance, but after starting a family of her own, she has been drawn back into the wonderful world of writing.
