Featured Debut Novelist: Sarah E. Ladd

Sarah E. Ladd is the author of the Whispers on the Moors series, which are inspirational romances set in Regency England.

Sarah has always loved the Regency period — the clothes, the music, the literature and the art. A college trip to England and Scotland confirmed her interest in the time period and gave her idea of what life would’ve looked like in era.

It wasn’t until 2010 that Ladd began writing seriously.  Shortly after, Ladd released the first book in the Whispers on the Moors series. Book one of the series, The Heiress of Winterwood, was the recipient of the 2011 ACFW Genesis Award for historical romance.

The following is a July 2014 interview with Sarah.
