Meet the Author
With no room for the cars in the garage because of books, Sara Orwig’s lifelong love of reading carried over into writing. She is winner of six Romantic Times awards, including Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Contemporary Fiction and her bestsellers have been on the USA TODAY Bestseller List.
Sara spent the first part of her life reading and resting up for the second part where she has earned a master’s in English, become a mother of three and a writer, taught English and has been Writer-in-Residence at the University of Central Oklahoma. Life was hectic enough that she has in haste placed the phone in the fridge and boiled eggs until they exploded. Cooking became limited to dishes that had four ingredients or less or came out of a can. Clothes have been left long enough at the cleaners that they have been sold. Ditto, shoes.
Balancing demands of a family and writing, and a dog and cat that wanted to eat regularly, Sara has written over 109 books that have been translated in twenty-three languages. She has over two-hundred foreign editions. A charter inductee into the Oklahoma Professional Writer’s Hall of Fame, Sara has won the Oklahoma University Award for Oklahoma Writer of the Year. She has twice been winner of the Oklahoma Novel of the Year Award by the Oklahoma Writers Federation. Her bestsellers have been on the USA TODAY Bestseller List, as well as Waldenbooks’ and B. Dalton’s bestseller lists. She is winner of six Romantic Times awards, including Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Contemporary Fiction.
This mother of three who has five grandchildren and the original, patient husband, has loved the world of writing and everything it includes. My latest book is as magical as my first.
