Allyson is the winner! She has 48 hours to reply to Sara’s email (and she did). Congrats!

Sara’s sister drew a random name after scattering them in random order on the counter (without the names showing, of course). Thank you for doing that. With nearly 100 comments, I’m glad she took care of writing down entries as they were posted. Good thinking, Sara!

I am open to interviewing (and letting readers know) about your book. Email CircleCAdventures@gmail.com if you are interested in participating. I have created a new category, “Author Interviews,” to highlight these fun topics.

Sara Grace Miller, Young Author, age 14

Before we get into the interview, here’s a little bit about Sara and her brand-new short-story book, The Country Home. It’s 138 pages full of fun stories, like:

• Abby runs into a dilemma, cattle thieves and coyotes. Will she make it out okay?
• Bessie is bored, so she runs off, what kind of trouble can a brown cow get into?
• A cat and a coyote sure can have a strange friendship, who knows what they will run into!
• Ruthie loves kittens, but is there such a thing as too many kittens?
• A mysterious tractor shows up, where is it from and why is it there?
• Bridget doesn’t want to stay at a country home but will she finds she likes it?
• And more!

Interview with Sara

1. How long have you been writing? 

I started writing when I was ten, four years ago, I wrote a few stories just for fun. I stopped for about a year then picked up again and wrote a lot more stories. Quite a few of those stories are in my book, The Country Home. 

2. What gave you the idea to publish a book?

I always wanted to publish a book. I read so many other books that it made me really want to publish my own! It was amazing to hold my very own book in my hands for the first time. 

3. I know how that feels, Sara, holding your own book. So, who was/is your biggest supporter?

My biggest supporters are Tori H. and my sister. I also have some other friends, Essie B, Lizzy D, and Emma A, who helped me as well. I couldn’t have done all of this without them. A big shout-out of thanks to you for helping me, friends! 🙂

4. What are some of your hobbies, when you are not writing? 

I love to read, raise rabbits and groom them, play with our kittens, skiing, and go-carting. I also enjoy taking photos and walking in the woods. Writing is always fun too. There are always stories waiting to be worked on! 

5. What kinds of stories do you like to write the most?

I love to write Andi Carter stories, Goldtown stories, and just-for-fun stories. I wrote Andi Carter stories when I started to write again, then I also wrote some stories just for fun. 

6. How often do you write?

I write pretty often. I sometimes write every other day, but usually every day. 

7. Wow. I wish I could write every day. Good for you, Sara! Do you plan to publish more books?

Oh, yes! I am working on two stories right now with my friends. It’s so fun to write and to publish them!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who helped me get my book published, those of you out there. It was fun writing and publishing it, even though it took a lot of time. If you have anything to ask me, feel free to ask in the comments, and I’ll do my best to answer!
