Sarah Kennedy Bücher
Diese Autorin betrachtet das Schreiben als ihren Lebenskern, bei dem jedes Wort ein Schlag ihres Herzens ist. Ihre Werke, die Fantasy mit subtilen Science-Fiction-Elementen verbinden, werden lebendig, wenn ihre Charaktere sie mit ihrer eigenen erzählerischen Dynamik überraschen. Diese Leidenschaft für das Geschichtenerzählen begann in der Kindheit und wurde durch engagiertes Studium weiter verfeinert. Letztendlich schreibt sie, weil es ein innerer Ruf ist, ein tiefes Bedürfnis, Geschichten ins Dasein zu bringen.
