Sara Kendall

Sara Kendall was born in East Texas, spending most of her life in Texas. Being a middle child of seven, she entertained herself in books where her passion for writing began.

As an adult she has a special place in her heart for children, teaching ages 4-12 at different denominational churches.

In 1992 she met Jason Burkhardt, her co-author for The BackYard Trio series, at the Christian shelter in Van Horn, Texas where he was the administrator, and she was a volunteer. Together they volunteered at different missions in different towns.

In 2002 Sara and Jason gave life to The BackYard Trio after watching their own pets’ behavior. Combining the characters and situations in the Bible along with the lovable animals in the books gives the children an enjoyable journey through the Bible.

She also loves cozy mystery/romance novels, taking a course in The Novel Writing Workshop with Writer's Digest School to hone her ability to write said novels.
