Sarah Nicholson was widowed at 42, which is too young to lose a husband. Left to bring up two sons by herself she turned to writing to make sense of her grief.

After blogging for many years, unravelling and re-ravelling she finally started her quest for lost glitter.

In January 2024 she published her memoir In Search of Lost Glitter with Resolute Books. A series of short stories, many only 100 words long, which tell the story of her life and how she puts the pieces back together when things keep falling apart.

In September In Search of Lost Glitter won the Ink Book Prize for best non-fiction book 2024.

Sarah lives in Suffolk, in the town where she grew up, although she did live in the North East of England when she was married. Her boys are still there, so she spends many hours driving up and down the A1 thinking up far too many story ideas to ever write.

She is currently writing a book of mostly fictitious stories on the theme of love. Don’t expect Mills and Boon, she’s already written one called For the Love of Cheese.
