Have you ever felt haunted by a story that needs to be told? One you can’t let go of, no matter how many facts you gather or how long you postpone the writing? Forever the researcher, always the dreamer. I am intensely motivated to discover and share every detail and interesting fact. That’s exactly who I am. There comes a point where I have to shift from research and begin writing, weaving fiction into the storyline.
The Sagacity Stories series began with a whisper from the past and has evolved into a riveting blend of memoir, historical fiction, and truth. Sena—the main character, the heart of it all—is based on a real woman whose resilience and reinvention floored me. She walked through the fire in ways that still leave me breathless. I used to say, “Someday, I’ll write her book.” That someday is now.

Sena’s life isn’t just a narrative—it’s a layered experience. In Book 1, Zoetic Solace you’ll meet a young, naive girl—bright-eyed and unprepared for what’s coming. But by Book 2, Reaching for Reveries (available now for pre-order!), she’s walking into the shadows of reality, meeting villains and heroes alike, and discovering how gritty and glorious life can be. Her evolution is not only inspiring; it’s utterly gripping.
This isn’t just for fiction lovers. If you’re a memoir fan or a history buff, you’ll find non-fiction moments tucked into every chapter. I’ve spent hours studying every person, business, and structure that shaped her world—from the bustle around the Gem Theatre to the biographies of real people living on the edges of her story. The social dynamics, the city’s heartbeat, even the emotions pulsing through everyday buildings—all of it is crafted to transport you into her world.
Why does it matter? Because Sena’s story offers more than entertainment—it brings reflection. It asks questions. It reveals how we survive, how we interact, how society molds us, and how we rise anyway. With built-in book club questions, the series invites you into deeper conversations that connect past and present.
Book 2 deepens the drama, and you don’t want to miss it. Pre-ordering helps me know how many books to print, but it also guarantees you’re among the first to dive in.
Start now! Follow Sena’s transformation—from sheltered to sharp, from surviving to thriving. She will surprise you. And I promise, you will not be able to put her story down.
