SARAH PAINTER writes contemporary fiction with a touch of magic, the Crow Investigations urban fantasy series, 'book club' fiction with atmospheric settings and historical elements, cosy fantasy mystery, and more. Yes, she finds it hard to stick to one genre! Having always been a reader and a daydreamer, she now puts those skills to good use with a strict daily schedule of faffing, thinking, reading, napping and writing - as well as thanking her lucky stars for her good fortune. Sarah lives in rural Scotland with her husband and extensive notebook collection.
