My first novel 'Whenever' was published in 2017 on my 70th birthday when I won the Novel Prize with Cinnamon Press. My second 'Random Three' came out with the Book Guild in summer 2020. 'Where Ar ...more

The Volunteer

It is very exciting to sign a contract for my 4th novel, set in Ghana. It follows the adventures of Alice as she searches for meaning and purpose as a volunteer. The story will be out next year!

We should all read this true account of a child making his way across a hostile Europe to safety. It is a powerful counter to the negative narrative about asylum seekers now being pushed by the far right. And how good to see that the author is now a ...more

Sarah Connell answered Lorn Bergstresser's question: Hi Sarah. Congratulations on your authorship! I recently wrote "Millionaire Janitor" with the purpose of helping young people make wise decisions. I was contacted by Hannah Baker who claims to have helped you make a success of your book(s). I'm inclined to ask her to make Millionaire Janitor more visible, but has she really helped you? Thanks! lorntc@gmail.com Sorry I have never heard of her. Good luck!
