Sara Powter was born on the NSW Central Coast in 1959. Her childhood was spent with her parents travelling mostly 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 for the Department of Agriculture as a Scientific Assistant in the Entomology Department. 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 just four months, three stories were finished and a fourth on the way.
