Sarah Thompson is an Irish-Norwegian writer, currently residing in a small Dutch village in Drenthe, with her husband and three cats. She has always loved reading and books and has a master’s degree in comparative literature.

In possession of a vivid imagination, writing - whether it be poetry, memoir, crime fiction or fantasy - provides an outlet and a way to share her passion and use her powers for good, instead of using them to give herself nightmares.

When she’s not banging her head against the keyboard or getting distracted by ever-important details such as the different calls of owls, or what the definition of a city is, she can often be found in the woods, wherever there’s bathing water, or curled up on the sofa with a pile of books,

Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth

This book is exquisite. Beauty, pain, yearning, shame, the Catholic imagery transposed onto the object of romantic affection--it all comes together and makes my heart both hurt and soar.
Sarah liked a quote
Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth
“Susannah, you are Heaven made flesh, you have been the greatest fire of my life. It’s not good enough, I know, but for every time I made you feel inadequate, I have died a hundred deaths. I’ll love you until the earth finishes.”
Chloe Michelle Howarth

“There is no question for the deer
of whether they are meant to be here,
now,
wading through the water

They are inevitable.
Timeless.
Unrestrained.”
Sarah Thompson, Murmurations

“Whenever I think
this life, these choices, this path
is mine alone
My spiritual, karmic, generational inheritance
swells in me
telling me
there is no such thing as

Tabula Rasa”
Sarah Thompson, Murmurations

“And somewhere deep inside my childhood
is another childhood
that belongs to someone else.

I find this very difficult to accept.

That I do not own time.
Or place,
or even feeling.

That nothing is as malleable as memory.”
Sarah Thompson, Murmurations

“And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.”
Hafiz

“Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannin, just the thing for healing the synapses.”
Russell T. Davies

“Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.”
Anatole France

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.”
John Lennon

“Do you know — I hardly remembered you?"
"Hardly remembered me?"
"I mean: how shall I explain? I — it's always so. Each time you happen to me all over again.”
Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence
