Sarah shared this interview she recently did with Kristin as the two discussed writing and upcoming projects.<\/p>\n When did you know you wanted to become a writer?<\/strong><\/p>\n As long as I knew how to write I’ve always written, whether it was\u00a0 plays, poems, or stories. I never considered writing as a possible profession, it was only something I enjoyed.\u00a0 It wasn’t until I was in my early twenties that I realized that I would actually like to be a writer and be a part of that field.<\/p>\n My inspirations can be found in all sorts of places, sometimes they have even come from footnotes in nonfiction books. For the story “Sputter From the Flames”, the first concept I had for the story was the setting and time period.<\/p>\n What are you working on now? <\/strong><\/p>\n I am currently working on a young adult novel that takes place during the Salem Witch Trials. The novel was originally inspired by an ancestor’s involvement with the trials through the jury.<\/p>\n You can read Ms. Roahrig’s story, “Sputter from the Flames,” along with nineteen other mysterious tales in History and Mystery, Oh My!<\/em> The book is available now at Amazon<\/a> and Smashwords<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the second installment of my Women in Horror author spotlight, I once again had some help from editor Sarah Glenn.
