Meet Sarah

Sarah E. Burr lives near New York City. Hailing from the small town of Appleton, Maine, she has been dreaming of being Nancy Drew since she was a little girl. Since she wasn’t stumbling across any crime scenes in corporate America, Sarah left her career in healthcare technology to write mysteries of her own.

Sarah graduated from Elmira College with degrees in political science and philosophy & religious studies. She is a member of Sisters in Crime. Sarah also co-hosts and produces The Bookish Hour and A Bookish Moment web series. When she’s not spinning up new stories, Sarah sings show tunes, plays video games with her husband, and enjoys walks with her dog, Eevee.

Sarah is the author of the Book Blogger Mysteries, the Court of Mystery series, the Trending Topic Mysteries, and the Glenmyre Whim Mysteries. There's always more murder and mystery in the works for Sarah.
