Sara Ramsey |
| Biography: |  Sara grew up outside a tiny town in southern Iowa. She spent her childhood reading anything she could get her hands on - birthday cards, grocery lists, signs, the entire ANNE OF GREEN GABLES series, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Nancy Drew, and even her brother's Hardy Boys books. Around the age of 12, she stumbled across her first romance novel and was immediately hooked. She kept reading through high school, during breaks in her studies at Stanford University, and as she fell into an advertising position in Silicon Valley. She made the switch to writing romance in 2007. Now, Sara lives in San Francisco, working during the day and writing at night. She is pursuing publication for her first novel, ONE NIGHT TO SEDUCTION (2009 GH winner in the Regency Historical category under the name AN INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE), and she’s starting on her second book. | | Hometown: | San Francisco, CA | | Age: | 28 | | GH Year(s) | 2009 | | Completed Manuscript(s) | 1 | | Genre(s): | Regency Historical | | Started Writing: | Age 5 – but started seriously pursuing it at 26 | | Day Job: | Advertising manager | | For Fun: | I’m on a quest to find the best sandwich in the Bay Area.

I feel like I’m packing so much in to each day, and judging by the other women dashing (or, like me, tottering) through the lobby in their high heels, most people have adopted the same frenetic pace.
