Ms Sarah Schofield

Sarah Schofield grew up in regional New South Wales on sheep and wheat properties near the city of Wagga Wagga, in Australia. One of her earliest memories is riding her hand-me-down horse, Lucky, through the paddocks, without a saddle, helmet or boots.

She credits her brilliant teachers and like-minded school friends for her passion for reading and writing, and a childhood spent on a farm for her vivid imagination.

At university she majored in journalism and English literature, which led to a career in radio and television with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, in Brisbane, Sydney, and Hobart.

It was the lure of working in radio at ABC Hobart that saw her move south to Tasmania for a decade-long tree-change, where she also discovered a love of beer, hiking, and scallops.

In her tiny western red cedar house looking across to the foothills of Mount Wellington in Hobart, she finally locked herself away to fulfil her life-long dream of writing a book.

Right Date Wrong Guy is her debut novel.
