A. R. Pearson

About the Author

Abigail Ruth Pearson was born in Bracknell, Berkshire, on January 28, 1981.

Her parents moved to Broseley, Shropshire, before she turned two, and moved again when she was seven, to settle in Cuddington, Cheshire.

She left high school, passing all her GCSEs, and attended Reaseheath College, gaining a National Diploma in animal care.

She went into work, and began her career working with animals. She has a particular fondness for horses and goats.

She began her own family at the age of 19, and today she is a blessed single mother of four children (three daughters and one son).

Since 2005, she has swapped animals for children and has enjoyed working a variety of support roles in a primary school. She is currently taking a career break to take care of her son with special needs. She still loves animals and is known as the “cat whisperer” to her friends—although she thinks “crazy cat lady” is a more accurate description.

She has a love for writing and poetry. She has entered several United Press competitions, winning the chance to publish her poems in several different books. She also has her own poetry book, Through My Eyes, which was published by United Press as a prize for her work being selected numerous times for their other publications.

Abi has recently launched a fundraising project using her poetry. She is creating volumes with twenty poems in each and dedicating them to specific charities that are close to her heart.

She published her first one in June 2020 and all profits from sales are donated directly to Making Space.

The Wayfarer’s Journey is her debut novel, which she wrote over fifteen years ago and archived while she focused on raising her children.

It was originally published in 2018, with its sequel, The Child of Light, following in 2019.

Abi went on to write a prequel entitled: The Sanalow Years. It altered her fantasy world so much, she opted to withdraw her two previously published novels and do a complete rewrite and redesign.

The Sanalow Years was published in July 2020, and can be found on Amazon in ebook and paperback format.

The updated versions of The Wayfarer's Journey and The Child of Light will be republished soon.
