Sarah Doran is a U.S. Army aviation veteran, author, and homeschooling mama.  Creating engaging, educational children's literature to authentically honor and represent military families is her goal and passion as an author.  Sarah's memories of growing up as a military child and her service in the Army as a Blackhawk helicopter mechanic and crew chief inspire her stories.

The Peppered Sky (2023), Sarah's first children's book, recently won the 2025 Eric Hoffer da Vinci Eye Award, the 2024 American Legacy Book Award Finalist, and the 2023 Best Book Award Finalist.  Sarah's second title, Sleeping Giants (2024), was recently published and highlights the work of military women in aviation, Army helicopters, and the imagination and resiliency of military children.  Sarah's military service includes two deployments, one in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (2009-2010) and one in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (2011-2012) as part of the 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood/Cavazos, Texas.  Sarah hopes to continue writing and publishing children's books to positively reflect military family life across military branches and open a window of opportunity for readers with curiosity about the Armed Forces. #allamericanbookclub #May
