Little questions:

Is Sarah Little really your REAL name?

No! It’s not. but shhh. don’t tell anyone! My real name is actually Sarah Hausler – but that’s the name I use for my other work – so I thought I’d find a better name for all the awesome books I plan to write. Naturally, I chose Sarah for my first name – of course, but I then chose Little as my last name as it’s the last name of my lovely Nan and Pa. It’s especially special to me as they’re both no longer with us here on Earth, and also my Nana was a big influence in my early reading years. So this name is as much about her as it is about me.

How many books do you buy every year.

Too many. I’ll be speaking to my Mum soon about increasing my pocket money to cover my book buying habit. Next question please.

Sweet Valley Twins. I’m a total Elizabeth. Actually I’m an Elizabeth who secretly wanted to be a Jessica. (But now that I’m older I’m glad I’m an Elizabeth!)

Why do you write books?
