Sarah Swainson

I am a fictional short story author residing in North East England. I am inspired by the complexity of human emotions; I like to explore all perspectives in a story and treat each one as sensitively as possible. I write about family life in humble settings, but there is always something outstanding beneath what initially appears to be an unremarkable situation.

My other interests include graphics, figure drawing and poetry. I am also a big music fan and like almost anything that is recreational.
