About the Author
Sarah Warburton is the oldest of four sisters, raised in Virginia, and an avid reader and knitter. After earning a B. A. in Latin from the College of William and Mary, an M.A. in Classics from the University of Georgia and another from Brown University, she studied at the University of New Mexico with Sharon Oard Warner and Julie Shigekuni, at the Taos Writer's Workshop with Pam Houston, and in Houston with Justin Cronin. She spent ten years as a writer (and eventually lead editor) for UpClose Magazine. Her short story, "Margaret's Magnolia," appeared in the Southern Arts Journal; she won first place in a WOW! Women on Writing Flash Fiction Contest; and her Pushcart prize nominated story "Survival English" appeared in Oyster River Page. Now she lives with her family--husband, son, daughter, and hound dog--in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia. For a "basically happy person" I write very bleak prose. Her first novel, ONCE TWO SISTERS, will be published in 2020 by Crooked Lane Books.
