Sara Fox's writing career began with a promise to her late parents to write the story of their 200-year-old Birmingham based family business. This led her to unearth tales more captivating than she could have imagined. As self-appointed listener, curator and healer of the many stories that were passed down through generations, Sara’s ability to record without judgement and wrap into a fictionalised retelling makes her the perfect conduit for this unique and powerful family saga.

A former complementary health practitioner offering grief counselling, homeopathy, and even soul-midwifery to people and animals, Sara brings a unique combination of interests, knowledge and perspective to her writing.

Without a doubt, the relationship that surprised me the most was Joe. I found his name in documents left by my father. All it said was that matthew received an apprenticeship from Joe Murdoch and they built the business in the back yard of their back-to-back house. I had nothing else to go on and I wondered how I'd work out a character for him.
As I have worked as a healer and communicator in my previous job, I used my skills to connect with Matthew and I asked him! Well, why not?

I was aghast at the depth of love that hit me the moment I asked the question. I received such a clear picture of a man with immense integrity, calmness and intelligence. As I started to create the part for Joe, which you can read in my blog about him here

https://www.sarafoxauthor.com/post/jo...

he began to write himself. It was my first experience as an author of writing a solid character. He had aspects of my father and my husband but over all of that, it was that feeling that Matthew gave me of Joe that helped to write his character. The relationship between Joe and Matthew was surprisingly easy to create, it felt so natural.

Joe's relationship with his future wife, also came out of nowhere. I didn't plan that either. It just happened!

I also loved how Florrie suddenly became the champion for William. That was beautiful. A delight to develop.

Thanks again for your question.(less)

It was magical dropping into how they would think and feel. Asking what their motivations might be and what, realistically, would they have thought and said.
Also, the research. I have loved discovering my home city and learning its history. Every time I write, this makes me smile.
Thanks for your question.

Found Fathers

The fathers we can choose or the ones who choose you.

Matthew Seller's father was not a safe man, although, had he not been destroyed by poverty and hunger he may well have been different all together. He was broken, frightened, exhausted and when he was drunk, it all came out in his fists. The cost of his state of mind was paid by his wife and his children, in the dark, behind the latched oak door Read more of this blog post »
