AUTHOR · BIO
Sara Brown-Moore
Hi! I'm Sara, I am an aspiring author on my writing journey working towards publication. This is a simple space to share my bio, the recognition I've received for my writing so far, and some details of the books still to come.
Get-to-know-me
I am a Dublin‑based technology consultant, where I live with my husband Stuart and our blended family of three children. I began my writing journey in 2024 with my first novel 'The Broken Heart Agency' which blends emotional realism with near-future speculative elements, exploring resilience and healing with hope and humour that ultimately asks: How far would you go to fix a broken heart? I am currently writing my second novel Adam & Stella while I seek representation.

Writing & books
A shelf held open for the books still to come.
The Broken Heart Agency

So, when yet another tragedy hits – her husband Jasper, announcing he’s leaving her and their London flat – Delia will try anything to take away her pain.

Adam & Stella
Signing up to the ADAM&EVE humanoid AI bot program seemed like a good idea when Stella Caffrey needed help getting her parents old Manor ready for auction, but as her Adam becomes more and more involved in her life, and his controlling behaviour become unsettlingly familiar she has to ask herself: Is the life she just escaped from, coming back to haunt her?
