Fun facts:

Cat mommy

Has been writing stories since the age of four

Is perhaps a little too obsessed with the color purple (unapologetically so)

When not writing I can most likely be found curled up with a cat, a book, and a cup of Irish tea

A meticulously arranged stack of fantasy manuscripts bound with a deep burgundy ribbon, set at a slight angle atop a slate-gray stone surface. Beside the stack, a closed fountain pen with a polished obsidian barrel and silver nib rests parallel to a minimal, engraved metal nameplate reading “Sarah Kennedy” in elegant serif type. Cool, overcast window light streams from the left, creating refined, soft shadows and delicate highlights along the pen and nameplate. In the blurred background, tall shelves of leather-bound books and a single flickering candle create subtle bokeh. Photographic realism, captured from a slightly elevated angle with balanced composition, evoking a sophisticated, professional author brand image.

Meet Fantasy Author Sarah Kennedy

Secretly wishing for her own wings to fly, the author of the award winning Prophecy of Hope Saga, Sarah Kennedy, instead spills her heart on the page. Writing stories for nearly as long as she can remember, each word is a beat of her heart. She has taken courses with the Institute of Children’s Literature and Long Ridge Writer’s Group (now known as the Institute for Writers). She lives firmly planted to earth in a small town in Pennsylvania with her family, including a fabulous clowder of cats, while giving wings to the imaginary friends in her head. So let the dragons fly and the saga continue.

Review of Sgarrwrath

This dark fantasy takes readers to an alternate world where past and present merge and reality and illusion are often indistinguishable. True to its genre, Sgarrwrath focuses on shadowy magic elements punctuated with images of horror…The writing in Sgarrwrath eschews the use of contractions, giving it a timeless quality…the book offers an imaginative and provocative story, one that should appeal to the lovers of the genre.

Review of Arising, Prophecy of Hope Book 1

“Sarah Kennedy’s Arising is the ambitious follow up to her prequel Sgarrwrath in the high fantasy Prophecy of Hope series. In the vein of Tolkein, Kennedy transportation us to a world of myth and magic, threatened by ultimate evil. A supernatural darkness consumed the land, corrupting all it touches. Behind it is Sgarrwrath, a primordial evil being bent on thwarting the prophecy of the rise of the messianic King Mhorag… Kennedy’s plotting is intricate, her characters believable. She draws readily from mythological archetypes, weaving them into a compelling epic story… Arising is relentless in its themes of light and dark, good and evil…”
