Author Bio:

Sarah Robinson is a native of the Washington, DC area and has both her Bachelors and Masters Degree in psychology while working as a mental health therapist with poor and homeless populations with severe mental illnesses as well as an advocate for a national cancer research foundation. Her previous work experiences include working in a sex offender rehabilitation center, teaching victim empathy classes in an adult detention center, and counseling schizophrenic patients. All of these in depth work experiences in such intense environments have given her a plethora of experiences to draw from when writing crime dramas.

Writing has been her hobby since high school and she has been published several times from poetry to articles to short stories, and now novels. Her most recent article was published on Indie Writer’s Guide. Her most recent poetry was published in Blue Ink Literary Magazine.

Sand & Clay was her first full length novel and will have a sequel coming out in 2015. Sand & Clay reached Amazon’s Top 100 Hot Reads in October 2013. Her second book is called Tainted Bodies and is the first part of The Photographer Trilogy. Tainted Bodies came out on January 1st, 2014 with other parts of the trilogy to follow later in 2014. She also has a large following on the popular social media site for book lovers, Goodreads. Sarah Robinson’s Facebook fan site quickly exploded when she created it in September 2013 and has now reached over 9,900 likes. She updates it personally and loves interacting with her fans through all her social media platforms. Several blogs have also highlighted Sarah’s work including a one week blog tour in October 2013 highlighting her first novel, Sand & Clay, in which over 40 blogs participated in reviews, promos, cover reveals, interviews, and giveaways. This was followed by a second blog tour in February 2014 for her second book, Tainted Bodies, in which 65 blogs participated. Tainted Bodies reached Amazon Bestseller status in both Crime Romance and Crime Thriller on April 4^th, 2014! Her third book, Tainted Pictures, will be the second installment in The Photographer Trilogy following Tainted Bodies and goes live on April 18th, 2014!

Her writing often concentrates on the complexity of love and emotions and the struggles of finding your destined path through life as well as overcoming life’s tragedies and misfortunes. She combines psychological complexities and human emotions to create very real characters experiencing life in a very real way. Her books focus on redemption and forgiveness, learning to build on what has been broken.

Much of her inspirations come from the amazing love she shares with her new husband, Justin Robinson, and the emotions around falling head over heels in love with your soul mate. She and her new husband are also big animal rescue enthusiasts and have 16 pets as well as volunteering with multiple animal shelters and rescues. Together, they own a zoo of rescues including 2 dogs, 3 cats, 4 kittens, 1 box turtle, 1 snapping turtle, 3 smaller aquatic turtles, and a slew of baby minnow fish. Her celebrity idol is Ellen DeGeneres, she even named one of her dogs after her (her certified service dog Shih Tzu-Bichon mix named Elly) and she never misses a show, thanks to the powers of DVR!
