Sarah Branson is an award-winning author whose bold, emotionally rich speculative fiction celebrates resilience, justice, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Before becoming a novelist, Sarah spent nearly thirty years as a certified nurse midwife, supporting families through transformative moments in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. That deep well of human experience—paired with a lifetime of global travel, including a formative childhood voyage on a freighter to Australia—informs the heart, grit, and authenticity of her storytelling. Her debut novel, A Merry Life, won the 2022 Kindle Book Award for Science Fiction and the Connecticut IAP Award for Adult Fiction, launching the four-book Pirates of New Earth series. She expanded the world with North Country: A Kat Wallace Adventure, a fierce stand-alone novel for adults that was named a finalist for the 2024 Independent Author Network (IAN) Book of the Year Award. Sarah also writes for younger audiences, including Unfurling the Sails (a Foreword Indies finalist), the middle-grade adventure A Pirates’ Pact, and her newest YA release, For the Love of Glitter. Sarah lives in Connecticut with her husband and continues to craft high-stakes, heart-driven adventures that center courage, compassion, and the fight for freedom.
