I love the early Colonial era of Australia and have read many in this genre. However, I found that there are not that many of them. My Mother also adored them, and after doing some family history research, she turned some of our discoveries into novels. I Have followed that with some of my own stories. To date, there are 19, 11 of which are published. Watch for new releases ever few months!

Sara Powter was born on the NSW Central Coast. Her childhood was spent with her parents, mainly travelling up and down the East Coast of Australia, fishing, shell collecting and doing some of her education by Correspondence Schooling. With a passion for science, she worked as a Scientific Assistant in the Entomology Department for the Department of Agriculture. She married Stephen soon after leaving there, and they spent 30 years in Ministry in the Newcastle Anglican Diocese in NSW, only retiring at the end of 2020. When 'Covid 19' hit, time was available to pen some of the stories she'd wanted to write for some time. Within twelve months, eight stories were finished, and ideas for more were on the way. These stem from her passion for Colonial Australia, her convict Ancestors, and the amazing country's remarkable history! Sara wrote these as she wished to complete one of her mother's unfinished manuscripts. The series prequel, "Dancing to Her Own Tune,” is now completed and ties in Sheila Hunter's Australian Trilogy with Sara's Lockley series.
