Author has written 8 stories for Shadow of the Colossus, My Little Pony, Yu-Gi-Oh, Misc. Books, and Octonauts.

I go by the penname S.A. Thorup, although my real name is Sarah Bailey. I live in a beautiful mountain-lined desert valley, and love the cool dry weather we have relative to other places in the world. I love to write original fiction, and have self-published several novels through . I strive to write morally friendly stories that are still rich in theme, plot, characters, and writing style. I also enjoy writing parody. Writing fanfiction helps me practice my talent of story-telling, especially when my creative juices are low on my original fiction.
