I’m a Londoner. I will always be a Londoner. My grandfather grew up on the Old Kent road. My mum was born on the Peabody estate in Pimlico. I spent a lot of time as a kid staring out the window of my grandmother’s flat over at Battersea Power Station never understanding the optical illusion …

The Tupperware of crabs is warm in my hand. I am warm in the taxi. It is nearly midnight and the taxi (fecking surprise here) is lost. So lost that I think I might just try looking for the hatch and perhaps Sawyer to keep me company.  I am sick of taxi drivers waggling their …

Last night I went out with an ex of mine from my uni days. He’s a financial accountant for a hedge fund now. When we met up and I walked next to him (he in his city gear, me in my voluntary sector gear ie. any more informal and it would have been beachwear) I felt …

About me

My name is Sarah Alderson and I'm an author and screenwriter. I write young adult fiction for Simon & Schuster (UK & US) and adult fiction for Pan Macmillan under the pen name Mila Gray.

I started this blog in 2009, before I became an author and it documented our journey from quitting our jobs in London to travelling around the world and settling in Bali where I became a full time novelist and screenwriter.

We left Bali at the end of 2014 for a stint back in London before we embark on our next adventure.
