The Weekend Away, Swat, Can We Live Here_ Sarah Alderson on The WCCS!

Sarah’s obsession for 80s action movies, 90s thrillers (and Buffy), and a morbid curiosity about the darker ages of history, bleeds into her writing.As well as screenwriting for both TV and film she is the #author of over twenty novels in the YA and psychological thriller genres and has been published by Simon & Schuster, Hachette, Harper Collins and Pan Macmillan. Her books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and been translated into a dozen languages.Having spent most of her life in London, Sarah quit her job in 2009 and, together with her husband and toddler daughter, took off on a round-the-world trip (her story of that journey became the book Can We Live Here?).After almost a year spent travelling the world, during which time her first novel Hunting Lila was published, they settled in Bali, where they lived for four years. In that time Sarah #published a further seven YA novels and began also writing screenplays.Sarah now lives in California and works predominantly as a screenwriter and producer in TV and film, while continuing to publish one to two books a year.She is currently a writer / producer on the CBS show S.W.A.T. and has several original projects in development. Her feature adaptation of #TheWeekendAway will soon air on Netflix.THE WEEKEND AWAY:***Now a Netflix Original movie, starring Leighton Meester, releasing globally on March 3.***Miles from home.
