Sarah Phillips

Sarah Phillips lives with her husband, two young sons and pets in suburban Wellington, New Zealand.

She is a former sub-editor for Fairfax Community Newspapers and journalist for The Hastings Leader in sunny Hawke’s Bay as well as The Wairarapa Times-Age in Masterton. Her time in the Wairarapa inspired the setting for her debut novel, Strawberry Jam story, not only with its abundance of orchards, farms, olive groves and wineries, but also its close-knit community full of interesting characters.
