Hi I’m Sarah,

(she/her/hers)

I’m a vocalist and author from Austin, Texas with a passion for storytelling and a deep fascination with humanity. Joy is my litmus and my compass, it also happens to be my middle name. Among many interesting adventures in following joy, I’ve become a martial artist, Turkish cuisine connoisseur, and critically acclaimed Celtic singer. I’ve also worked as a radio DJ, hair model, actress, belly dancer, arborist, teacher, and ropes course facilitator (among other things).

These days, I’m a nature fiend, a parent, a partner, an educator, a video gamer, a creative ally, and a lover of learning new things. I’m passionate about hydration, kindness, self-care, and of course, following your joy.

I do not believe in “guilty pleasures.” I’m an advocate for the ownership of desire and the celebration of life. Of liking what you like, wanting what you want, and being who you are. Embracing how you are here to be. My work is deeply seated in these concepts and much of my writing deals with themes of accepting all parts of ourselves and the freedoms found on the other side of fear. There is no guilt here, only pleasure.

I believe whole-heartedly in using whatever skills we have to help others and uplift humanity. In my world, books are a nexus of joy and clean water. So, by purchasing one of my books for your reading pleasure, you are helping to improve the lives of people you may never meet. Portions of all book sales are used in support of bringing clean water to people currently living without access.
