Meet Author Sara Fox
Sara Fox's writing career began with a promise to her late parents to write the story of their 200-year-old Birmingham based family business. This led her to unearth tales more captivating than she could have imagined. As self-appointed listener, curator and healer of the many stories that were passed down through generations, Sara’s ability to record without judgement and wrap into a fictionalised retelling makes her the perfect conduit for this unique and powerful family saga.
A former complementary health practitioner offering grief counselling, homeopathy, and even soul-midwifery to people and animals, Sara brings a unique combination of interests, knowledge and perspective to her writing.
As a "retired" Army wife, Sara’s three decades of association with the armed forces fuel her passion for Hero Paws, a charity dedicated to re-homing ex-military dogs.
Sara’s ties to family storytelling can also be traced to her great grandmother Elizabeth Archer from Hanbury, Worcestershire. Godfrey Baseley, a family friend, often visited and used Elizabeth’s maiden name and her family to form a basis for Radio 4’s longest running drama, The Archers. When not penning historical tales, Sara can be found savouring beautiful teas, great coffee, a glass of fine wine or a cheeky tot of Irish whiskey. Sara relishes a quiet life with her husband, punctuated by the antics of their crazy Border Collie and as dictated by their sassy cat.
