Sara Mills: Behind the Scenes
Sara Mills is a wife, mother, writer, freelance editor and motorcycle racing enthusiast. She loves animals, raises Golden Retrievers, has a house full of hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, puppies and any other stray that makes its way to her door.
Sara has been writing since 1999 but decided to seriously pursue publication after a life-threatening accident in 2002. Sara, motorcycle lunatic that she is, was taking a quick ride on a Suzuki TL1000s (a bike that made the top-five-most-dangerous-bikes-ever-produced list) and lost control on a patch of gravel coming around a corner. To make a long story less painful to retell, she hit the side of a tree going sixty miles per hour. She couldn’t walk (think, stand or do much of anything else except watch T.V.) for four months and she discovered two things. She loathes T.V., and she finally figured out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. Be a writer.
It may seem like an extreme way to go about discovering her life’s purpose, but she’s never looked back since. Except that one time she decided to quit writing and go back to school to get her MBA. But that didn’t last long and it was just one little slip, so it doesn’t really count.
Sara loves writing, loves reading and loves helping others make their writing shine. She hates waiting, the pursuit of publication and being rejected. But, who doesn’t?
Aside from motorbikes Sara loves film noir, Humphrey Bogart and The Maltese Falcon.
