About the Author, Sarah Doran

2023 MotMC Book GiveawayDoran Crew chief

Sarah grew up living the life of a military child. Moving from duty station to duty station, with hard goodbyes and awkward hellos, Sarah’s family life was laden with the military culture and lifestyle. Not wanting to let go of her military affiliation, Sarah joined the Army in 2007 as a Blackhawk helicopter mechanic, later gaining experience as a crew chief. She met her husband in 2008 and they were married in 2010.

2023 MotMC Giveaway Doran FamilyOnce their enlistments came to an end, Sarah was ready for another adventure: motherhood. Now a civilian, Sarah became mama to two boys, Chase and Hunter. While motherhood and homeschooling suit her well, Sarah searched for her new connection to the military community. When her passion for writing met her love of military family life, her military children’s stories were born, The Peppered Sky. We’re excited to partner with Sarah for this amazing opportunity for military families!
