This week, I am thrilled to welcome
Sarah Raughley, a talented author whose journey from fan fiction to published novels is nothing short of inspiring. Sarah joins me to discuss her path as a writer, the influences that have shaped her storytelling, and the powerful
themes in her upcoming book, "The Queen's Spade."
Our conversation uncovers Sara's early passion for storytelling, her love for role-playing games, and the significance of representation in literature, especially for Black women. We delve into the historical backdrop
of her work, the emotional challenges of exploring complex identities, and the vital role of reclaiming narratives. Sarah passionately advocates for more Black stories in literature, highlighting the empowerment that comes from seeing
oneself as a hero.
"The Queen's Spade," set for release on January 14,
2025, is a riveting historical thriller inspired by true events.
