Sarah McKnight is an award-winning multi-genre author with an interest in contemporary young adult, coming-of-age, and horror fiction. After spending two years teaching English to middle schoolers in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, she came back to the US to pursue her next dream – to finish writing all of the books taking up valuable space on her hard drive.

Her most popular book by far, The Reaper’s Quota, has placed in several awards, including the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and the Book Blogger’s Novel of the Year Award. While some of her books lean more toward the fantastical, she always incorporates elements of realism and mental health, hoping that everyone can find something they relate to.

Sarah holds a bachelor’s degree in English

We thought we had all the letters, but this is one we had never seen before. In it, my grandfather mentioned being a suspect in a murder case in a small Illinois town he had never been to before. He was in France at the time, and it seemed someone had used his military ID or something along those lines in an attempt to frame him. He didn't provide much else in the letter, and we tried Googling what we knew, but the details were too vague. Unfortunately, both of my grandparents have passed away, so we'll never know what that letter was all about. (less)

When writing starts to feel like pulling teeth, I close out the document and walk away from the project. I do other things like play games or watch TV, and the writer's block tends to go away after a day or two. (less)

I read this book years ago and couldn't remember a single thing about it when I watched the movie about a month ago, so I decided to give it a reread because the movie had a huge impact on me. Seriously, I'm still thinking about it.
