Stephanie is available for comment and interviews, so do please get in touch. (She is a confident public speaker, with a background in broadcasting.)

Review copies of the Children of Sarah novels and the anthologies are available to press/bloggers on request. Please contact Stephanie here.

A press release about The Fire in Their Eyes can be downloaded here:

Key talking points around the Children of Sarah series might include: The rise of ‘CliFi’ (fiction with the theme/context of climate change); the need for a return to matriarchy and the matriarchy in literature; addressing the rise of ant-science sentiments and conspiracy theories, even in governments; defying genre and crossing over between historical; literary and science fiction; medical and eco thrillers; women in science; evolution, survival, human ancestry and migration; the clash between faith and reason; nature vs nurture; the search for meaning.

Areas of interest concerning the author might include: why the interest in science and human nature; why tackle a ‘book of ideas’ in a genre-led commercial market; what’s it like to make a literary debut later in life (and the surprising attitudes from some female readers to a sexually interested/attractive older female character!); no fear of including polemical/political material; how do you establish a distinctive voice in a crowded market; making space to pursue your passion in a busy working life; did a childhood abroad shape a certain world view, etc?
