Hi there…
I’m Sara Thomson
Historical fiction author, qualified creativity coach, NLP master practitioner, and creator of the resources & tools on this site.
I write mysteries rooted in the lives of women during wartime. I also create practical resources for writers and creatives who feel blocked, lacking in confidence, or unsure how to keep going. Both strands come from the same place, a deep belief that creativity matters, and that everyone who feels the pull toward it deserves to follow it.
