Sarah Hines Stephens has been writing books for more than 15 years and reading them for as long as she can remember. She has written books as herself, as a ghostwriter, under a pseudonym and often with her friend and writing partner, Jane B. Mason. Though she has covered character terrain from Jedi to princesses her most recent series, A Dog and his Girl Mysteries, is about a 7th grade detective and her K-9, Dodge. Sarah lives with her husband, kids and dogs in Oakland, California. When she is not busy (which is not often) she likes to garden, spend time with friends, cook and dream of travel.
