About Sara

Everyday Sara scoops litter boxes, complains about Iowa weather, and plays endless rounds of “Ball!” with Charlie, my blind Aussie/Husky who may or may not be the reincarnation of a third baseman.

Then there’s writer Sara. There are two of us, and they're both me.

As Sara Ennis, I dive headfirst into the dark side, writing psychological thrillers where danger lurks, survival isn’t guaranteed, and humanity teeters on the edge. But don’t worry, the dog never dies. Sadly, these stories are inspired by (not based on) real life situations. There are monsters walking among us. There are giants, too, in the form of survivors. 

As Sara Isabelle, I embrace humor, found family, and small-town charm, spinning cozy mysteries packed with quirky characters, heartwarming friendships, and just enough crime to keep things interesting. These worlds are places I want to live, even if it's only in my imagination. 

All versions of Sara love wine and tequila (not in the same glass), traveling anywhere and everywhere, and exploring the weirdness—good and bad—of the human brain.

Pick your path: Dark and twisty or warm and witty. Either way, it’s gonna be a ride!
