She’s sold over a million books, written 80 titles, and quietly built one of the most impressive careers in modern historical romance. We were joined by the incredible Sarah M.Eden, and what a joy it was.To mark the release of her latest time-slip romance, The Tides of Time, Sarah opened up about the real story behind her success, and it’s one of resilience, quiet determination, and endless curiosity.Set against the backdrop of 1793 revolutionary France and 1873 England, The Tides of Time is a sweeping tale of survival, love, and time-bending connection. But what inspired it? What draws readers to time travel now more than ever? And how does someone juggle historical accuracy, deep emotional arcs, and consistent storytelling… across 80 books?Sarah shares all of that and more.We also talk about:* Her early days as a writer (and why she once thought she’d never make it)* How Seeking Persephone made the leap from page to screen.* The reality of writing romance with a PG rating, without losing the heart.* Her surprising take on imposter syndrome.* Why persistence matters more than popularity.Whether you're a die-hard fan or meeting Sarah for the first time, this interview will leave you feeling inspired, informed, and just a little bit in awe.👇 Watch the full interview below and don’t forget to hit reply and let us know your favourite takeaway.💬 Did you know?
