Sarah Stuart lives on the edge of a quiet English village where wildlife sightings are common, though becoming less so. Many of her dogs are, or have been, rescues and only those who enjoy the limelight perform onstage.Dogs were Sarah's opening into show business. During a period when she lived in Wales she supplied them to professional companies using Aberystwyth University's Arts Centre Theatre during student vacations. Many musicals and plays performed there were on their pre-West End premiere run, which gave her an unrivalled opportunity to talk to directors, choreographers and the many other vital members of the backstage staff, and the performers. These ranged from actors and actresses in their first, or early, roles to worldwide superstars of stage and screen. That experience, and her association with the Northern Ballet, underpins the vivid portrayals of show business triumphs and heartbreak.The Royal Command series, her debut into full-length fiction, has been well received.
Book One, Dangerous Liaisons, made Sarah an award-winning novelist with a Bronze Medal in the Readers' Favorite Contest 2016, whilst Book Two, Illicit Passion, was a Finalist. Dynasty of Deceit was rated 5 stars by Readers' Favorite pre-publication.Sarah's hope is that readers will enjoy her novels as an escape from reality, but be left understanding that fame and fortune often comes at a high personal cost. Also, an increased perception of the threat to animals: those shot in the name of sport for trophy heads, endangered species, many poached for their fur and ivory, and tragically discarded pets.Sarah appreciates reviews very much. Readers have already helped endangered species and discarded pets worldwide: she donates 100% of her royalties to help and reviews encourage others to buy and review for this globally worthwhile cause.
