Sarah Goodwin is a novelist who grew up in rural Hertfordshire. Sarah graduated in 2014 with an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. After writing several historical novels, she decided to write instead about the wild, the darkness and survival, which led to her coming up with the idea for ‘Stranded’, which would become her first professionally published novel. ‘The Yacht’ is Sarah’s fifth locked-room thriller published by Avon, an imprint of HarperCollins.
