Sarah “S.A.” Bastedo’s’ passion for storytelling has been a lifelong pursuit. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Sarah spent her early years lost in the “Chronicles of Narnia”, Nancy Drew, and “Little Women”. Though her professional career led her toward different creative pursuits including graphic design, video production, and marketing, she never lost her love for reading and writing. One of her articles was included in the online magazine “Still Standing”, her marketing research was published in the “Journal of Brand Strategy”, and she was a contributing screenwriter on the “100 Pages” film. A firm believer in the power of stories to inspire, Sarah often explores themes of hope and perseverance in her work, aiming to resonate with readers on a personal level. When not immersed in a writing project, Sarah enjoys live music, getting absorbed in a TV show, and exploring new cities. She and her husband live in Nashville, TN.
