Sarah says: "I am a physically Disabled writer and blogger living in the UK. On my website, you will find all kinds of fun and useful sections related to disability representation on TV, in books, in movies and in theatre, celebrate progress in Disability Rights and rant about Disability Wrongs."
"When Im not updating Same Difference, I write the occasional poem, mostly inspired by myself and my amazing Disabled friends. Listen to the Silence is available online as an ebook which you can download for £2 from Same Difference."

/This is the kind of poetry one can relate with. There are so many people who have things to say, but refrain. I am one of them. It brings out their feelings. Great job.
