About this author

edit data

I currently live in Orange County, CA, with my husband Scott, step daughter Kayli, best friend/roommate James, and our two pet rats, Dobby and Oy. We are all very close and have a lot of fun living together. We are all obsessed with movies, and we seem to be constantly accumulating them to the point that we have our own private Blockbuster in our house.

Some of my favorite movies are Shawshank Redemption, The Fifth Element, Mission to Mars, Contact, Paul, The X Files: Fight the Future, Grandma’s Boy, Hot Rod, Triangle, Shaun of the Dead, Office Space, Donnie Darko, Night of the Living Dead, Clerks 1 & 2, X-Men (and all of the others that have followed), almost all of the Judd Apatow movies, and so many more.

The most recent ones that I have seen are Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers, and I thought they were both awesome. I also love the Iron Man movies, and I can not WAIT for the third one.

When it comes to books, there are several that I love. I have been reading horror mainly since I was a little kid, and I picked up my first Christopher Pike book. I still have his Last Vampire series that I keep up on my shelf. After him I went on to Stephen King, and I decided to read Carrie first, since that was also the first novel that he wrote, and then I just became obsessed with him and that has lasted up until now, to the point that I have a tattoo from the fifth book in his Dark Tower series, which I am extremely proud of. I also love Ray Bradbury, Jean M. Auel, Charlaine Harris, Cate Tiernan, Anne Rice, Chuck Palahniuk, Rachel Caine, Jason Pargin (David Wong), Michael Crichton, Orson Scott Card, George R.R. Martin and many more.

I have been writing now, off and on, for about twenty years. Most of what I write is short stories and poems. My first published story was in a book called Begin at the Beginning, when I was fourteen. It was a compilation with a bunch of other students at the time, and it was a lot of fun. My parents and other family members always encouraged my writing, but it was my husband who finally nudged me into writing an actual book (and was also my “muse”). I decided to write a young adult book because I love reading them, so I figured it would be just as much fun to write one. And I was right!

Quotes Sara Likes

“For a moment everything was clear, and when that happens you see that the world is barely there at all. Don't we all secretly know this? It's a perfectly balanced mechanism of shouts and echoes pretending to be wheels and cogs, a dreamclock chiming beneath a mystery-glass we call life. Behind it? Below it and around it? Chaos, storms. Men with hammers, men with knives, men with guns. Women who twist what they cannot dominate and belittle what they cannot understand. A universe of horror and loss surrounding a single lighted stage where mortals dance in defiance of the dark.”
― Stephen King, 11/22/63
