In this episode of Lattes & Art, James William Moore sits down with novelist Sarah Marshall to talk about the many worlds that shape a creative life. From Hawaii and the Sierra foothills to global travel, military service, engineering, spiritual practice, movement, and more than twenty years of participation in Burning Man, Sarah brings a deeply layered perspective to art, identity, community, and transformation.

The conversation explores her novel Playa Dust in My Soul, the idea of emotional truth in storytelling, the pull of liminal spaces, chosen family, embodiment, and what it means to live between structure and freedom. Thoughtful, searching, and grounded in lived experience, this episode is a reflection on how creativity can become the place where the many parts of a life finally speak to one another.
