Sadie De Winter has always been passionate about stories—whether recommending the perfect book to customers during her years as a dedicated bookseller or crafting her own tales in secret. When the bookstore she loved closed its doors, she turned her talent for words into a successful career as a copywriter and ghostwriter. For years, Sadie wrote in the shadows, unsure if her stories were ready for the world. But once she took the leap, there was no turning back. Today, she writes under multiple pseudonyms across a variety of genres. When she's not writing, Sadie enjoys life in the Ruhr area with her husband and their two jet-black dogs—who may or may not serve as inspiration for some of her more mysterious tales.
