The Vampire Library’s Q & A with author Sarah Jane Stratford is here…

First, congratulations on the upcoming release of your first novel, The Midnight Guardian!

Thank you so much! I still don’t believe it.

Has it always been a dream of yours to become a published author?

Absolutely. I was making up stories at age 4 and writing a few years later – I think I started in crayon. But I also wanted to be an actress and that dream put up a big fight. Then I had a mad impulse to explore academia, which fortunately went south with alacrity. I’ve been writing screenplays, stage plays, and short stories – sort of staging a sneak attack on long form. The joke was on me, cause it was Brigit who attacked and told me what to do.
