Sarah Pinborough... so far

Sarah Pinborough was born in 1972 in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire where her family have their home. She spent much of her childhood and adulthood travelling all over the world - her father, now retired, was a diplomat and so her early years were spent trawling the middle east, before at 8 years old she packed her trunk and headed off to boarding school for a ten year stretch, the memories of which she says still provide her with much of her material for horror writing...

She now lives about five miles from where she was born with her cats, Mr Fing and Peter. She is a member of the British Fantasy Society, The Horror Writers' Assocation and, along with fellow horror authors Sarah Langan, Alex Sokoloff and Deborah LeBlanc, the writing collective MUSE.

Although best known as a horror writer, Sarah has begun to also write crime and thriller novels and she is also planning a non-supernatural YA novel.

Her inflences include, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Graham Joyce, Michael Marshall (Smith), John Wyndham, Dean Koontz and Madonna...

She really doesn't know what people that don't write do with their time. Housework, probably.
