Sarah Todman grew up in an outback Queensland pub surrounded by siblings (she has seven), and an ever-changing cast of colourful pub characters. It was an extraordinary childhood that gave her the ability to pour a perfect beer. In a writing career that spans two decades she has been a tabloid journalist, magazine editor, content writer, communications consultant, and entrepreneur. Sarah lives in Brisbane with her husband and four children (because eight seemed like too much hard work). New Year’s Eve is her first novel.
