VOIDWALKER, my spicy romantasy in a sweeping new world, arrives AUGUST 19!

A smuggler crossing the Void between worlds, caught in a cutthroat coup. A carnivorous immortal lord with everything to lose. A temptation, for how sweet the monster’s fangs might feel...

Do I REALLY need to look at my Spotify Wrapped when I already know it's going to be filled with nothing but edgy monster smut bait???

Delightfully, this is an amalgamation of playlists from all three different books I've been working on 🤣

(#1 and 5 are VOIDWALKER, #2 and 6 are Voidwalker sequel 😇)

Fionamara “Fi” Kolbeck
- Smuggles contraband between parallel worlds
- Horse girl (but it’s a scaled Void horse from liminal space)
- Accidentally blew up an immortal’s capitol (oops)
- About to unlock a fang fetish she never knew she had
- 113 “fucks” in this book, and they’re almost all hers

Antal
- Carnivorous immortal woven from the depthless Void beyond reality
- The monster from your childhood folktales
- But also a wet cat sulking in your bathtub
- Thinks he’s in charge of this snarling human woman (is very wrong)
- Knows how to use those claws

🚨VOIDWALKER CHARACTER ART🚨

I’ve been drawing VOIDWALKER art for over a year, and I finally get to start sharing it! Drumroll please, as I introduce:
December 2, 2024 at 3:32 PM
Today, I'm thankful for . . . all of YOU! 🥰

All the readers who've picked up The Phoenix Keeper, and all the reviewers who have shared your wonderful thoughts on the book. I get to write and share more stories because of YOU supporting me and believing in my words.

So truly, thank you ❤️

Calm morning, enjoying how the sunlight falls on the bookshelves, working on revisions for my third book.

Can you believe 2024 is almost over? I feel like I still have so much I want to read, so much I want to write. Here's to a productive weekend 🥰

“So, you love my cozy phoenix book, that’s cool and all. But just out of curiosity, how do you feel about . . . super spicy monster romance?”

Rest assured, Team Antler was immediately on board 😈

I can now tell you one of the most harrowing moments of my author career so far, that call with my very important and professional publisher where I had to ask:
November 18, 2024 at 3:26 PM
Have you read THE PHOENIX KEEPER and wonder how my next book compares? Are you new to both? Well look no further!
November 18, 2024 at 3:26 PM
Loving the vibes over here as everyone migrates, but I'm not seeing nearly enough cats.

Show me your cats! 🐈‍⬛️❤️

When it's a good edits day, and this book is feeling 🔥🔥🔥

Y'all won't see this one until 2026, but trust me, were COOKING.

Cats!

We're introducing ourselves again? I'm Sarah! The (still can't believe I can say this) Sunday Times bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper, a cozy fantasy about a magic zoo. My next book, Voidwalker, is a monster romantasy (Aug 2025). I'm bi, an ecology professor, and have two fluffy tuxedo cats

New book baby's first 100 adds on Goodreads! 🥳

It's still surreal to see my book (and my second book now???) appear on Goodreads, to see that placeholder cover with my name and title on it, to see real readers adding it to their lists.

2023 was ... transformative

I sold my debut adult cozy fantasy. And while we've been quietly accruing a *mountain* of news that can't be announced yet, I can safely say that I'm watching all my dreams come true, and it is a FEELING 🥹

2024 is going to be an incredible year 🥰

I have acquired my first Smol Pumpkin™️ of the season.

Let the fall begin.

Interrupting my normally scheduled book ramblings to bring you: Mantis friend!!!

One Dark Window was one of my top reads last year. Two Twisted Crowns is a MASTERFUL follow-up, easily another favorite this year.

The stunning prose. The clever magic system. The monster girls. The god-tier simp energy that is Elm Rowan. 🙌

Don't miss this one!

Once again lamenting over my placeholder chapter titles.

I have zero clue what this chapter SHOULD be titled, only that it probably shouldn't be THIS 😂😭

Received some monstrously exciting book mail from
@orbitbooks.bsky.social this week 😈

Excuse me while I vanish into one of my most anticipated reads of the year 👑👑
September 22, 2023 at 3:25 PM
Awaiting the day when an industry professional inevitably has words with me about my chapter titles.

But for now I'm just having a great time.
September 18, 2023 at 2:43 AM
Do you ever pick up a book, and it welcomes you in with a soft smile, a big hug, a delicious little treat of banter and rivalry and pining glances?

Then all of a sudden you look down and somehow your heart is shredded and bloody in your hands?

So I finished Divine Rivals ...

It's raining outside. I've got a jar of matcha. And I have the entire day free to relax and draft a very steamy chapter 😌
