Sarah Butland was born in Ontario, the year was 1982. She was moved to New Brunswick for over 15 years and now resides at home in Nova Scotia, Canada. Butland has been married to her high school sweetheart and has a superstar son named William. Besides home schooling and working part time, Sarah finds time to follow her dream of being an author and teaching others that they can do the same.
Butland started creating while still learning to walk and in years to follow was able to put a writing utensil to paper to document her creations before they were completely lost. Of course, her first manuscripts were in dire need of editing but she didn't seem to mind nor did her readers.
The first "big break" for Butland came when she was still a teenager feeling like she was unlike every other teenager she knew. She heard from a poetry contest that her poem "Wrong Shell" would be published in their anthology; would she kindly send them thousands of dollars to continue on in the finals. Butland's parents refused. So began the struggle of discovering which awards were actually earned not bought.
Limiting herself to contest submissions from then on, Sarah Butland realized her career of writing would be a difficult struggle no matter the talent she held inside or was forced out. Many stories, attempts at novels and thousands of ideas later, Butland created BananaBoy and the Adventures of Sammy was born with Sending You Sammy, her first published children's book. Then came Brain Tales – Volume One, a collection of short stories Arm Farm, her current literary pride and joy and Blood Day - the Short Story and the Novella.
Butland's next accomplishment planned to be winning the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award which would then be mentioned among her most joyous literary accomplishments. Unfortunately she didn't win the 2011 award but is now working on new and greater things.
Thanks for reading,
Sarah Butland
"The last memory I had of them was filled with spilled blood and vacant eyes, the smell of baking, then burning. Cookies and blood."
What would you do if you came home to the aroma of chocolate chip cookies and the sight of your mother's blood pooled on the kitchen floor?
Would you make a promise to your seven-year-old self to find the killer?
In the novel Arm Farm, university student Natalie Hartman finds herself trying to convince others that her parents' case is more of a priority than her own safety. The forensic science student flies across the nation looking for answers. And so does her stalker.
Arm Farm takes Natalie on a journey of self-discovery to find out not only who she wants to be but who she is. Her life may seem simple to unassuming classmates, but to those close to her, it becomes a terror with twists and turns they never want to experience. Will Natalie find out who killed her mother and father before her own life is taken?
Arm Farm is a novel of 59015 which offers its young adult readers a glimpse into the human reality of forensic science. Natalie's story is more about people and a murder investigation than it is about the unrealistic portrayal of Hollywood science.
The suspense of Arm Farm compares to those written by highly acclaimed author Harlan Coben but without adult complexities a young adult reader may not enjoy.
"And as I walked back through the valley of the shadow of arms, I quickened my pace, dried my tears and prayed quietly."
