Sarah M Eden is a bestselling and award winning inspirational and historical romance author. She is best known as the author of the “Jonquil Brothers,” “Lancaster Family,” “Longing for Home,” “Proper Romance Victorian,” “Proper Romance Western,” and the “Gents” series of novels. She usually combines her affinity for tender romance narratives with her history obsession to craft heartfelt romances and witty characters. As a teen, she went to college and has a bachelor’s degree in research. She has also been the Northwest Writers Retreat Writer in Residence and been an LDStorymakers Writers Conference Master of Ceremonies.
Sarah Eden is one of those writers that never thought they would grow up to find a career in writing. Even though she had long been a voracious reader of historical romance, her journey to becoming a published author came from a dare. She had been one of those people that often requested books via the interlibrary loan as she was done reading all the novels at the local library. Even worse was the fact that she had a preference for steamy stories which made her preferred novels very difficult to find. Coupled with the fact that she hated poorly drafted characters, unengaging plotlines and poor writing, it was not long before she ran out of things to read. One day while visiting her mother, she companied that she could not find something worthy of reading. Her mother replied that she understood her frustration but retorted that if she did not find what she liked may be she should write what she wanted to read. It was then that she thought I am going to prove her wrong and spent the following year learning how to become an author and then got down to writing her manuscript.
Eden started out as a self published author though she now has an agent. A few years after she published her debut, she sought out an agent as she felt she needed to publish the traditional way too. She is also part of the indie published Timeless Romance Anthologies and considers herself a hybrid author. Her publishing work falls under indie, agented traditional and traditional. Like most of her peers, she does go on tours to promote her novels. She loves getting out to meet the people who have given reviews on her novels and answering all manner of questions they might have. For Sarah Eden, promotion out on the road is a way of staying focused on her current projects as it helps her get in the writing zone. It is also a way to get away from the hectic life of running a home and day to day family life which can get a little boring over time. Nonetheless, she is a person who loves staying at home eating food she is used to, sleeping in her own bed and having a familiar routine. She also misses her family a lot when she is away and there is nothing she longs for more than getting back when the tour is done.
In Sarah M Eden’s novel “Seeking Persephone,” we are introduced to Persephone Lancaster. She is still reeling from the marriage proposal from the Duke of Kielder who is easily the most ill tempered man in the land.
