Sarah Holloch-Weingarten

Sarah Holloch-Weingarten draws from her over fifteen years with the United Nations and her international career. She most frequently writes about her journeys through deep jungles and far-flung deserts, meeting rebels, mercenaries, and spies in remote places throughout the world. The Sneech-Pats of Patriotville: An Homage to Dr. Seuss is Sarah’s first attempt at humor, born from her admiration--like so many of us!—of the American writer Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Greisel). Sarah is an American born in The San Francisco Bay Area. She met her German husband in a war zone in Central Africa and they call Big Pine Key, Florida home. She has a master’s degree from Cornell University, a B.A from Gonzaga University, and she speaks French, KiSwahili and Italian. She is also the author of “The Belgians Took My Picture”: The Politics of Identity in the Construction of Ethno-History. (Africa’s Great Lakes Region, 1862-2001), published by Cornell University in 2001. Her next publication, a series called Mazungu©, recounts the true stories of her adventures living and working in Africa for over a decade.
