39: Sarah Jones- Author of Summer Squall

Sarah grew up in the south, a fan of writers like Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. Her novel began as a short story based on a Hemingway vignette and that idea became the middle of her book as she wrote both forward and backwards to complete the arc. Now she's working to master the art of Amazon rankings which she believes controls the fate of every beginning writer's success. She's a graduate of the University of Tennessee (Go Vols) and has worked as an English teacher and a business writer before retiring to a lake community north of Atlanta, Georgia where she belongs to three book clubs, plays golf and tennis, lounges on the lake, and hosts dinner parties.  To learn more about Sarah, click here.
