About Sarah Beach

Now residing in Las Vegas, I was born in Michigan and moved to Texas when 16. After getting my Masters degree in English, I moved to Hollywood, because of the high demand for Medievalists (NOT!).

Posted on July 12, 2011 by Sarah Beach

The Creature has been listening to me talk about this Albuquerque, and decided to check out its location. He thinks it is too far from the sea. I don’t think he likes the idea of me going so far.

Posted on July 12, 2011 by Sarah Beach

It’s always an adventure when a trip sneaks up on me. Suddenly the hours shorten, seeming to go by much faster than they would on other days. Suddenly I realize that half the wardrobe I meant to take on the … Continue reading →

For the last 2 years, I’ve taken part in a science fiction/horror/fantasy critique group as part of GLAWS. We’ve met pretty consistantly, once a month, usually at the Venice library on a Saturday afternoon. This month, however, because of various … Continue reading →

The Pastel Blasphemy

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Sarah Beach

The Creative Taskmaster Lost Patience

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Sarah Beach

The Creature took a nose-dive (face-dive? he doesn’t have a nose) off the hutch shelf of my desk last night. I guess he didn’t think I really needed that sixth game of Spider Solitaire. As he points out here, I … Continue reading →
