Sara Sampson

Meet Sara Sampson, a proud graduate of the esteemed University of Oregon with a degree in “Absolutely Nothing Useful”—perfect for a stellar career in the restaurant and hospitality industry! With 25 years of juggling plates and customers, Sara let her big imagination run wild while cooking up stories in her head.

In 2023, she and her husband took a leap of faith, giving up everything (including their sanity) to hit the road in their house on wheels with their cat, Willie, of course. They set out to explore the great American landscape, armed with a sense of adventure and a large budget for motorhome repairs.

The biggest inspiration for writing children’s books? The wild imaginations of her grandkids, who can transform a cardboard box into their own RV or a pool noodle into a sword!

These colorful experiences, mixed with some of her own childhood memories, sparked the creation of Beazle's Corner, a whimsical world where kids can dream up their own magical corners in their backyards. Her stories tackle themes like managing emotions, building self-confidence, facing fears, the importance of togetherness and conserving our planet and our resources, all set against a backdrop of fun and adventure.

Sara’s first book, Kirby and the River Storm, kicks off a ten-book series titled “Tales from Beazle’s Corner.” Her storytelling style channels her childhood favorite, Shel Silverstein, mixing rhymes with colorful imagery to teach kids valuable life lessons through playful tales.

When not spinning stories about jungle creatures, you might find Sara spinning through new cities on her bicycle, hunting down the best local eats she can find.

So, welcome to Beazle's Corner, where the only limits are your imagination (and maybe how high you can climb a tree)!
