Hey’a, all! I’m Sarah Narnathron (as you can see), and I’m super excited to be here! I think I’ve met most of you briefly on other threads, but icebreakers are fun. 😀

1. I primarily write fantasy in a variety of subgenres.

2. I’ve got three WIPs at the moment, so . . . elevator pitch time! (Sort of. We’ll see how it goes.) One, Dust of Silver, is a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses mixed with Rapunzel. Ivy Jade and her sisters have been trapped in a tower all their lives, and the portal that opened in the top floor of their home seems to offer the escape they’re searching for— but the silver dust and glittering gems of the other world hide secrets, and every rose has its thorns. (This is a rewrite of one of my earlier novels; currently it’s in the first-draft stage.)

The second, Fight Song, is a superhero novella. Three years ago, Callie heard murder done. Today, she’ll see justice served. Armed with the power of song, a reporter sidekick, and her own determination, she hunts the superpowered serial killer who got away all those years ago, but in order to stop him, she’ll have to face her own future. (This one’s in edits; I’m posting it on my blog on a mostly-weekly basis.)

Finally, we have Blood in the Snow, a retelling of Snow White intertwined with The Goose Girl. Princess Zhu Baili, the fairest in the Inner Kingdoms, is destined to unite two warring countries through her marriage to a foreign prince. But when she’s betrayed on the road, she must fight and find her voice in order to reclaim her destiny and save not one but two nations. (This one’s been edited multiple times; now I’m looking for beta readers to catch anything I missed and thinking about publication.)

3. Salty caramel pretzel crunch from Young’s Jersey Dairy. Alternately, Perry’s Oregon Blackberry Cheesecake and Banana Cream Pie are both pretty tasty.

4. I’m excited about being part of a new community of writers.

5. I love writing about families in fantasy.
