S. K. Golden was born and raised in the Florida Keys where she married a commercial fisherman. The two of them still live on the islands with their five kids (one boy, four girls - including identical twins!), two cats, and a corgi named Goku. She graduated from Saint Leo University with a bachelor’s degree in Human Services and Administration and has put it to good use approximately zero times. She’s worked as a bank teller, a pharmacy technician, and an executive assistant at her father’s church. Sarah is delighted to be doing none of those things now.
