About Sarah Anne Carter

Sarah Anne Carter is a writer and reader. She grew up all over the world as a military brat and is now putting down roots with her family in Ohio. Family life keeps her busy, but any spare moment is spent reading, writing or thinking about plots for novels.

May was a very full month! I had another child graduate high school! I also weeded all of our flower beds and gardens, planted a garden, put out the hummingbird feeder and took a family vacation to Tampa. Nights and Sundays were full of reading when we were home and […]

We chose to visit Charleston, S.C., for our other spring break trip because it was a new city to us and it had beaches. We flew out there on a Monday and back on a Thursday. The flights to Charleston were smooth and we got in just as our rooms […]

I finished quite a few books in April as I was reading religious books for Lent. I read about by a saint, a book about the Dead Sea Scrolls, a book about the priests put in Dachau and finished a devotional book. I also got to read the newest Hunger […]

The idea came to us a couple months ago – could we fly to NYC in the morning, spend a few hours in the city and fly home the same evening? Spring break gave us a chance to try it. We had to fly out of Columbus and to La […]

Once kids get to college, spring breaks possibly start not matching up. That happened this year, so the college student requested visits to cities and the others wanted a beach. The college student got to visit Chicago and NYC and the other spring break was a visit to Charleston, S.C. […]

Spring breaks and late nights for track left me with a little less time to read in March. However, I read some interesting fiction and a great book by Mother Teresa. Here’s what I read in March: The Funeral Ladies of Ellerie County by Claire Swinarski The Funeral Ladies of […]

Basketball ended in February so I had some more nights at home to settle in with a book. A road trip and a plane trip added to my reading time as well. I read a really good series set in Alaska and listened to a Fredrik Backman book. Here’s what […]

January felt like a really long month! Even with it feeling long, I didn’t have quite as much reading time at night with attending quite a few basketball games. I was a bit underwhelmed by the books I read this past month, but there was a historical fiction one about […]

When you can fly standby, you sometimes make impulsive decisions. I saw that Parker Valby was doing a holiday mile race near Tampa in December and thought one of my children would want to go run in it. She did and she loves Parker, so we made a plan to […]

There’s a feature with flying standby where you can pick your date and your departure airport and it will tell you the “best bets” to fly to that date. They’re the destination locations with the most seats available. When my husband and I wanted to take a quick 20th anniversary trip, […]
