Facing Demons author Marion Brownlie is interviewed on River Radio. She talks about her book and what inspired her to write this amazing autobiography.
Beating the odds, she was near suicide then turned her life around – she had work to do! It still was not easy, and there were many things she had to sort out, and heal. Her story is one of determination, strength, and courage. She found the will to carry on, but there were still lessons to be learnt. Over the course of her life, you will hear how she found a way to work with and overcome obstacles. The rewards of finding the solution to a problem. And the satisfaction of being able to help others heal.
Sarah A Vogler was born in Brisbane, Australia, where she spent her childhood climbing trees, wrestling her three brothers, and watching Xena: The Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. It was these two TV shows that sparked Sarah’s interest in Greek mythology and saw her spend entire days sitting by her bedroom window, waiting for a pegasus to swoop out of the sky and take her on an adventure worthy of Homer. When it was clear a pegasus wasn’t going to rescue her from her dull life, Sarah turned to writing her own adventures.
Sarah combined her love of Greek mythology with her love of writing and went on to study a Bachelor of Arts at The University of Queensland, with majors in Ancient History and Writing, followed by a Master of Arts in Writing, Editing, and Publishing.
After graduating, Sarah became a freelance editor and spent her spare time working on her novels and submitting them to agents and publishers. She received dozens of rejection emails but persevered, knowing nothing worth having comes easy.
