Sarah L. Maguire was born and grew up in London.
After completing a Ph.D in Classics at Swansea University, Sarah juggled various unlikely jobs with writing fiction and non-fiction, including ebooks and articles on Greek mythology, Medieval Japanese literature and more recently fiction of a gothic tendency.

She also runs an online shop Phoenix Aromatics, where she sells essential oil perfume blends and imagines the fragrant smoke arising from the censors of ancient fanes.

"A good primer and very accessibly written. I wished on occasion it delved a little deeper and got into more nuts and bolts, but no fault to Stanley for writing a book for a slightly different audience than me. Very engaging and a good intro to the us" Read more of this review »

Helen Waddell
“The truth is that solitude is the creative condition of genius, religious or secular, and the ultimate sterilising of it. No human soul can long ignore "the giant agony of the world" and live, except indeed the mollusc life, a barnacle upon eternity.”
Helen Waddell, The Desert Fathers

Patricia Lockwood
“Sometimes I have thought I was lonely and it turned out I was in reality wanting a snack, just like sometimes I have thought I was mad and it turned out I was actually wearing too many sweaters.”
Patricia Lockwood

Terry Pratchett
“I should have learned this, she thought. I wanted to learn fire, and pain, but I should have learned people.”
Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight
