The Weekend Away, screenwriting & being a bestselling author with Sarah Alderson!
On Monday we had a bonus show! Why? Because we were confused by the mystery of timezone on Thursday! Sarah was able to find time in her hectic schedule. Running from the writing room of the awesome TV series S.W.A.T, to an interview with The Writing Community Chat Show, and then back to Netflix to pitch another movie just 2 hours later! All of this in the same week where her book adaptation of The Weekend Away drops on Netflix!
The Weekend Away, out March the 03rd on Netflix in the UK.

Sarah was a great guest. She was down to earth, we laughed and I tested her knowledge in a short quiz! Did she match Matson Taylors 5/5 last week? Tune in to find out! Plus, my two cats, Freida and Marv, made an unexpected appearance on the show.

About Sarah:
Sarah’s obsession for 80s action movies, 90s thrillers (and Buffy), and a morbid curiosity about the darker ages of history, bleeds into her writing. As well as screenwriting for both TV and film she is the #author of over twenty novels in the YA and psychological thriller genres and has been published by Simon & Schuster, Hachette, Harper Collins and Pan Macmillan. Her books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and been translated into a dozen languages. Having spent most of her life in London, Sarah quit her job in 2009 and, together with her husband and toddler daughter, took off on a round-the-world trip (her story of that journey became the book Can We Live Here?). After almost a year spent travelling the world, during which time her first novel Hunting Lila was published, they settled in Bali, where they lived for four years. In that time Sarah #published a further seven YA novels and began also writing screenplays. Sarah now lives in California and works predominantly as a screenwriter and producer in TV and film, while continuing to publish one to two books a year.
The Weekend Away:
***Now a Netflix Original movie, starring Leighton Meester, releasing globally on March 3.***
Miles from home. Trust no one. Suspect everyone.
Orla and Kate have been best friends forever. Together they’ve faced it all – be it Orla’s struggles as a new mother or Kate’s messy divorce. And whatever else happens in their lives, they can always look forward to their annual weekend away.
This year, they’re off to Lisbon: the perfect flat, the perfect view, the perfect itinerary. And what better way to kick things off in style than with the perfect night out?
But when Orla wakes up the next morning, Kate is gone. Brushed off by the police and with only a fuzzy memory of the night’s events, Orla is her friend’s only hope. As she frantically retraces their steps, Orla makes a series of shattering discoveries that threaten everything she holds dear. Because while Lisbon holds the secret of what happened that night, the truth may lie closer to home…
