About Sarah Andrews
I’ve just finished my first novel and am beginning to query literary agents. Fingers crossed! I would love to tell you more about that, but since I can’t just yet here is a little bio…. I’m originally from North Carolina and studied both Journalism and Creative Writing at UNC Chapel Hill before moving to Barcelona in 2000. I was the Barcelona correspondent for AP, published more than a dozen travel books, and served as editor of Hotelier International until 2016. I also lived in Chile (where my novel is set) for three years.
I live in the wine country near Barcelona and in my free time, I love spending time in my garden and with our family’s pets – dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, goats and sheep.
