After a long and fulfilling career teaching English, with a passion for a wide variety of literature, Sarah Le Marchand began her own writing journey by completing an MA in Creative Writing with the Open University. Her first novel, Hold Fast, is inspired by her Jersey family’s history and her long-standing interest in the German occupation of the Channel Islands from 1940 to 1945.
