Sara Bennett is an Australian who lives in an old house in an old gold rush town in the state of Victoria. She is married to an accountant and they have two children who are growing up all too quickly. The household is ruled by three cats, who all arrived without an invitation and decided to stay, and a dog who believes it's a person.

In between writing and driving her children to and fro, Sara enjoys spending time in her garden. She is particularly fond of her collection of old world roses - they have such wonderful names! She also reads a great deal, and although she will read anything - mystery, thrillers and horror - romance is her favorite.
