Who I Am

Award-winning author of sex-positive contemporary romance.

My debut novel, Up for Air, won the 2021 Independent Press Award for Romance and was named as a Finalist in Romance for the 2021 Maxy Awards and the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards.

My second novel, The Road Home, comes out in August 2021. And there are many more yet to come.

When not writing, I’m usually helping my husband with our never-ending home remodeling adventure or petting my robot cats while I sing along to Siouxsie and the Banshees.

The Important Details

- I have the same birthday as Lenny Bruce and Fox Mulder
- I’ve lived in Austin since 1995
- I’m a citizen of the Cherokee Nation
- I have a BA in History from the University of Texas at Austin
- I’m a member of Romance Writers Association, Author’s Guild, Indian Women's Pocahontas Club, and a founding member of First Families of the Cherokee Nation
- I swim at Barton Springs, drink Kraken rum, and watch people (not all at the same time, and not in a creepy way)

Underlying all of the rock and roll, the hot sex, the roller derbying, the road trips and more, the main character, Jake, finds his way home–to his Cherokee roots and his newfound family. Pure enjoyment! I have to break it to my husband: I think I’m in love with Jake.” —Sara B Fraser, author of Long Division and Just River (about The Road Home)
