Sarah Beth Aubrey, author of Heart of a Champion and the Championship Drive novel series Sarah Beth Aubrey lives in Central Indiana where she writes from the loft of an old farmhouse. Inspired by her rural roots and love of raising and showing cattle, several years ago she began the initial outline of what has now become the livestock showing industry's first novel, Championship Drive. Like many novelists, Sarah Beth writes from her own experience - and from the heart- getting at topics familiar to all readers like family dynamics, coming of age, and learning to trust oneself. Now, she releases the sequel, Heart of a Champion to continue the saga of Savannah Morgan and Cade Champion. Sarah Beth holds a B.S. in Agricultural Communications from the University of Illinois and an M.S. in Strategic Communication from Purdue University.
