Bio

Sara Braas grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, taking camping trips out West with her parents and two brothers in the family van. Even on those trips, Sara always had her nose in a book. While attending the University of Wisconsin, she studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, and learned to speak fluent German. Then she moved to Munich to pursue a career in international business. 

 

Her work with BMW in Munich brought her to Los Angeles where she built a career in business while also finding time to surf and enjoying the sunsets. She got her Master’s at USC in Public Administration, focused on Environmental Studies.

 

She met her husband, a German scientist, playing beach volleyball in Santa Monica. They have a daughter Avila, who is named after a beach, and a toothy rescue dog named Bernie. 

 

Sara's world travel and business career has provided perfect fodder for her writing. She moved back to her roots in Madison, Wisconsin, where she still focuses on environmental sustainability while also writing psychological suspense and children’s books with a sense of adventure at heart.
