“Why fit in when you were made to stand out?”
Sox is a microbe. One day, he trips and is catapulted into a human body. He bumps into Nova, or rather, Nova crashes into him! Nova says strange things, making Sox feel confused. Soon, the mysterious Bammies start chasing them. It all sends Sox into a sizzle!
Join Sox in an adventure with crashes, chases, sizzles and giggles along the way.
About Sara Semple
I am an autistic creative artist based in North Yorkshire, UK. I was nonspeaking until aged 15 and developed a passion for reading from a young age. Books were both my escape and connection with the world.
My background is in mental health nursing. I then retrained and completed a diploma in Art & Design and a BA Fine Art degree. Leading on to be a freelance artist.
I have set up art and wellbeing groups in a broad range of community and hospital settings. I have also been involved with delivering post diagnostic support for adults with a late diagnosis of autism.
My son was diagnosed with autism at age 5. I remember it creating a sense of complete isolation for both of us, at that time. Not being in contact with any other adults or children who understood.
Sox in a Sizzle, is the first of what I envision will be a series of books of short, fun, playful stories with neurodivergent characters at its core. I created this realm with the hope that young readers can step into, relate and connect with it.
We are all different and unique in our own way. I believe it’s important to celebrate and accept difference. To be happy with who we are, has a huge impact on our health.
When not creating, I find much joy in live music, getting out walking in nature, and being inspired to try reading new authors at my book group.
