MEET SARAH

Originally from the UK, Sarah lived in Toronto, Dallas, New York, and Wellington prior to settling in Sydney. Before taking up fiction writing as a full-time career, Sarah worked as an actress, journalist, newspaper columnist, magazine editor, and publicist. Her debut novel, A Voice In The Night – a twisty psychological thriller – has been optioned for film. Her second novel, Dilemma, garnered five-star reader reviews and reached #1 in WW1 fiction on Amazon USA and #2 in both British Historical Fiction and Historical Mystery on Amazon UK. Love. Camera. Action is her third novel. Her next book, High Land, will be released in late 2026.

MEET PENELOPE

Penelope has a passion for creating stories that explore social and environmental issues, but her novels are fundamentally a celebration of Australian characters and communities. Her first novel, In at the Deep End, came out with HarperCollins/ HQ in February 2017, and her eighth novel, Sunshine Through the Rain, was published in December 2023. Penelope enjoys spending time with her six children, riding horses, exploring the Australian countryside and dreaming up challenging hiking adventures. Nothing makes her happier as a writer than readers falling in love with her clever, complex and adventurous characters.
