Sarah Marshall
Sarah Marshall has participated in Burning Man more than twenty times, experiencing the temporary city not as a spectator but as a contributor, camp leader, and devoted student of the community's rhythms and rituals. She brings to this novel an intimate knowledge of the desert and the people who return to it year after year.
Before becoming a novelist, Sarah served in the United States Navy, spent decades as an engineer and leader in technology industries, and traveled extensively across six continents; not as a collector of destinations but as a listener and participant in diverse communities.
Raised among the wide skies of Hawaii and the Sierra Nevada foothills, she remains drawn to liminal spaces, chosen families, and moments of transformation that occur far from the center of conventional life. She is married and has an adult daughter, whose art adorns the novel.
