Sarah Brentyn is an introvert who believes anything can be made better with soy sauce and wasabi.  

She loves words and has been writing stories since she was nine years old. She talks to trees and apologizes to inanimate objects when she bumps into them.  

When she’s not writing, you can find her strolling through cemeteries or searching for fairies.

My blog Lemon Shark is an eclectic mix of observations and thoughts on writing and the world around me. 

On Lemon Shark Reef, I write flash fiction (and the occasional haiku) when the muse moves me.

I am currently working on my YA novella and a poetry collection. 

I have a master's degree in writing and have taught at both the secondary and collegiate levels. I created and held writing workshops for various age groups from Kindergarteners to teens.

My fiction has been featured on Speculative 66, Rewriting Mary Sue, Flash Fiction Magazine, Grimm Report, Friday Phrases, and in the anthologies: The Roses Mini Sagas ('21 & '22), Adverbially Challenged (Vol. 4 & 5), and The Congress of Rough Writers.
