Thanks for inviting me to blog! My name is Sara Bennett and I write historical
romance for Avon. I have to confess that I tend Read More...
Looking back, I always seemed to be writing something, but
the first time I actually thought I might make a career as
a writer was when I won the local short story contest.
Suddenly my name was in the newspaper and people had heard
of me, and I was actually paid! Probably until then,
although I had dreamed of being a writer, I had never
expected to make a career from it. I thought writing was a
hobby. After the contest win I began to wonder if, maybe,
one day I would be able to write and not have to work to
support my habit!
Over the years I have written for Harlequin Mills & Boon
under the name Deborah Miles, and for a number of
Australian publishers under the name Lilly Sommers (see my
book list page). Now I write for Avon in the USA. Somehow
I juggle my writing with a husband and two teenagers, three
cats and a dog, an old house that needs repairs and a large
garden, as well as other family and friends and the
constant demands of our modern world. But I love it and I
would never want it any other way.
