It’s our great pleasure to present Sarah Hawley! Writes: I write fantasy romantic comedies featuring chaotic witches, brooding demons, and a mix of steam and magical hijinks. My debut romance, A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, is about a magically-challenged witch named Mariel Spark who tries to summon flour for a spell and accidentally summons a demon for an unbreakable soul bargain instead. The demon, Ozroth the Ruthless, can’t leave her side until he gets her soul… but as he spends time with lively, kind Mariel, he decides he wants her heart, instead. About: Originally an archaeologist (I excavated at an Inca site in Chile, a Bronze Age palace in Turkey, and a medieval abbey in England), I now write steamy romance and fantasy novels. Passionate about: cheese, books, theatre, fictional villains, colorful socks, and weird trivia. When not dreaming up whimsical love stories, I can be found reading, dancing, or cuddling my two cats.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: Likes to laugh…
