About Sarah

Sarah Colleen is a lineage-loving, story-obsessed writer whose work is rooted in memory, land, and the lives of women who endured.

Her writing centers women, winter, and survival, with a focus on how knowledge is carried quietly through generations. She writes historical fiction shaped by folklore, lived resilience, and the small, essential acts that keep families and communities alive.

Sarah’s work explores inheritance beyond blood alone: the passing of stories, skills, and care from one woman to another. Her narratives are grounded, restrained, and human, treating survival not as spectacle but as daily labor.

She is also the founder of Motherline Apothecary, a private, friends-and-family practice devoted to ancestral plant knowledge, seasonal work, and grimoire-based traditions. While the Apothecary itself remains private, its spirit carries through the illustrated prints and written pieces she shares through her Etsy shop.

Sarah lives in Oklahoma with her husband, their three daughters, and several dogs, writing where she is and tending to family, land, and story at the same time.

When she is not writing, she can usually be found foraging herbs, building scavenger hunts for her children, or daydreaming about colder places filled with mist, moss, and old stone.
