The Hunter’s Heart

Clara Thatcher knows how to disappear. She’s been doing it since the man she married became something unnatural and left her running for her life with her daughters in the back seat and nothing but escape on her mind.

In the quiet Indiana town of Willow Creek, she meets Eli Fisher, a rough-souled mechanic who doesn’t flinch when she keeps her walls high.

What draws them together is magnetic, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. But Eli’s past is darker than he lets on, shaped by the kind of violence most people never see. And when Clara’s past finds her again, it comes hungry.

This time, Clara isn’t running. She’s ready to fight—for her daughters, her life, and the love she never thought she’d find.

Hi, I’m Sarah.

I’m a librarian and former English teacher who has spent my life surrounded by stories. First in the classroom, now in the library, and always in the pages of the books stacked on my nightstand. Stories have been the through line of my life: the ones I taught, the ones I shared with students, the ones I read for comfort, and now, the ones I write.

I live in Indiana with my family, where most evenings you’ll find me on the sidelines, cheering for my daughters at their games. When I’m not writing, I’m usually curled up with a book (fantasy, romance, or horror… yes, horror) or sneaking in just one more chapter before bed.

My debut novel, The Hunter’s Heart, blends the kinds of stories I’ve always loved: romance with deep emotional stakes, a touch of small-town charm, and shadows of the supernatural waiting at the edge of the page. It’s the first book in The Fisher Chronicles, a series that’s as much about family and love as it is about the monsters that test them.
