Who Is Sara Marlowe Jolene?
Sara Marlowe Jolene is my author alias.
Just kidding. It’s my pen name. An alias is fake.
Sara Marlowe Jolene is very much real.
Or is she?
I’ll let you decide that…
Let me tell you a bit of my author story…
It All began in 2013…
Sara at fourteen!
It began with a note on my little sister’s iPod that my older sister and her then boyfriend (now husband) found and read aloud. Both writers themselves, they encouraged me to continue the story.
So I did. At fourteen years old, I penned the very first draft of The Deliverer’s Destiny.
It was not the first book I had written; I had been writing quite excitedly since I was eight years old, filling notebook after notebook with stories that would never, ever come to light (thank God). With each new story, I thought I had found The One.
But they weren’t. The One began with a short little scene I don’t even remember writing. But it grew, and it grew, and it grew, and in 2020, I officially published what would be the final draft of The Deliverer’s Destiny.
Of course, I have made a couple tweaks since that day (if you’re just meeting me, know I have a ‘revisionary’ mind bahaha).
But as of October 2023, officially ten years since the series was born, The Seed of Euforemalta has two fully completed novels published—and an estimated seven more to come!
And let’s not forget the beautiful Magenta Trilogy joining the ranks in 2021 with its first book, MAGENTA!
Sara at twenty-four!
Why Read The Seed Of Euforemalta?
“This is a fast-paced book, a book with complexly intertwined storylines, and a book with heart. The characters can’t help growing on you over those 600 fast-paced pages (I would die for them now). It’s a book that blends dystopia, high fantasy, and world-hopping; a book of layering connections and mistakes, inner growth, and little wholesome moments that made me squeal (!!!) .”
“If you want your emotions messed with, you've come to the right place. This book and its characters will steal your heart (and possibly stomp all over it). The plot is fast-paced and full of glorious twists, and the relationships portrayed are some of my favorites in anything I've read. 10/10 worth your time and effort.”
“This is one of the best books that I have had the pleasure to read in 2021.”
“Well written and action packed fantasy adventure. I really enjoyed it. There are lots of vibrant characters and good twists in the plot. I would seriously recommend it to anyone who likes this genre.”
“I was blown away by the story told in this book. It is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. The mix of fantasy, suspense, and Christian themes makes the struggles the characters face really hit home. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!!”
Why read The Magenta Trilogy?
“Sara Jolene leaves the world of fantasy and creates an emotional, riveting drama that is current with the times that we are in right now . . . Definitely a 5 STARS rated book.”
“This is not just small town America/Canada this is the true picture of what many of us experienced in our families, in our work situations and our relationships. It is real, raw, and done beautifully. Thank you SMJ for writing a true story. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.”
“Such an interesting story with rich characters and meaningful themes. The storytelling is so heartfelt. I couldn't put this book down! I'm hanging out for the sequel!”
