Ep 95: Exploring Alaska with Author Sara Blackard
In our latest episode, we embark on a literary journey to Alaska with author Sara Blackard. Sara, who resides in the small town of Tok, Alaska, provides a fascinating firsthand account of life in this remote area, sharing insights into the challenges and unique experiences of living in one of the coldest inhabited places in North America.
From the extreme temperatures to the reliance on plane transportation and encounters with Alaska’s diverse wildlife, Sara offers a vivid portrayal of her home state. Her experiences are not only an inspiration for her writing but also give listeners a glimpse into the lesser-known aspects of Alaskan life.
Sara’s Alaskan Rebels series provides readers with a local’s perspective of Alaska while incorporating elements of romantic suspense, comedy, and action-adventure, all against the stunning backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness.

Meet Sara Blackard
Sara Blackard is an award-winning clean romance novelist who writes stories that thrill the imagination and strum heartstrings. When she’s not crafting wild adventures and sweet romances that curl your toes, she’s homeschooling her four adventurous boys and one fearless princess, keeping their off-grid house running (don’t ask if it’s clean), or enjoying the Alaskan lifestyle she and her Hunky Hubster love.
