Sarah also dreads writing these types of bios, so she asked Twitter for suggestions:

“Sarah leads the mantitty masterclass.”
—@tenthmuse

Sarah is not sure how to describe that one in the course catalog.

“Go for brevity: ‘Smart Bitch Sarah is teh awesumest.’”

—@jennybullough

Unfortunately, Sarah is unsure if she can say that with a straight face.

“Sarah always Helps a Bitch Out.”
—@cjewel

Sarah tries, and is flattered by the compliment.

“As Inventor of HABO, SW helps readers find books hovering at the edge of their consciousness, making the world a better place.”

—@susanmpls

Sarah believes that the more crazysauce an old romance plot is, the more we all have to reread it!

“Sarah writes the best contest disclaimers ever, and is a supporter of libraries.”
—@ksattler

Sarah loves libraries! Void where prohibited!

“Don’t forget to mention your ninja training.”
—@jesidres

Yes, yes, of course! Sarah is a ninja. OF LOVE.
