Sarah Painter has worked as a freelance magazine journalist, blogger and editor for the last thirteen years, combining this 'career' with amateur child-wrangling (AKA motherhood).

She writes contemporary fiction with a touch of magic. The Secrets of Ghosts (follow up to the bestselling The Language of Spells) is out now from Carina UK.

Sarah lives in rural Scotland with her children, husband, and two enormous cats. She drinks too much tea, loves the work of Joss Whedon, and is the proud owner of a writing shed.
