About Me

Saralee_Etter2012

​Saralee Etter always knew that writing was the only career for her. Writing down the stories she imagined in her day-dreaming moments seemed like the perfect job.

Instead, she wrote other things: Newspaper articles, public relations releases, legal briefs. After working as a legislative analyst for a state-wide trade association, she worked as a local weekly newspaper reporter and a public school district communications coordinator.

Now Saralee is writing the stories that she dreamed up so long ago. She enjoys history, romance, adventure, and mystery. She has published two full-length traditional English Regency romance novels and two Regency-set Christmas romance novellas.

Her latest work is Her Wild Irish Rogue, an exciting tale of love and adventure in Paris just after the fall of Napoleon in 1815. The hero, swashbuckling Captain Stephen Killian, is modeled on the legendary Irish warrior CuChulainn. In the Ulster Cycle, CuChulainn falls in love with and marries the beautiful and talented Emer, daughter of Forgall the Wily.  In Saralee’s book, Emer has become Miss Emma Forgall. Sparks fly between the two, just as with their legendary counterparts.

After completing her current work-in-progress, a Weird Western tentatively titled GrannyQuest, she will go back to working on a Victorian-set cozy mystery featuring Gilbert and Sullivan.

On January 2 & 3, 2018, Saralee appeared on the well-known TV quiz show, Jeopardy! She had a blast, and wrote about it here.

    Thank you for providing an answer to my thought on which came first with G&S, lyrics or music. I am always amazed how the rollicking, topsy turvy world of G&S can have such tender moments, like the Sun whose rays or Ah, leave me not to pine. They had such range, from songs about hammers and magnets to the heart ache of separation.
