Sara Burns was in her 40s before she was sufficiently convinced she had some creative genes that she might be able to use. Being a medical transcriptionist, she boldly submitted an article to the transcriptionists quarterly magazine; it was accepted and published. More articles followed. Encouraged by the acceptance of her writing, she wrote a book about her career. Readers loved it. She has been working on a fictionalized autobiography and hopes to publish it one day. A compilation of several of her shorter articles were printed and given to family and friends, and Sara will soon be publishing that as well.

An intriguing assignment in a writer’s group led to writing this children’s book about Matt and his adventures in the ocean. This is the first of a series that will include an accompanying coloring and activities book. The second story of Matt’s adventures is
already in the works. Sara hopes Matt’s adventures will not only entertain children, but the subtle lessons on the environment hidden in the pages will resonate with every child who hears the stories.
