Hello!

My name is Sabrina, and I'm both a science writer/nerd and a huge fan of epic speculative fiction in which you not only have to think, but end up loving the characters. I love putting down a book and being disappointed that it's over. Aestus was my attempt to write that kind of novel (now series)...with my own characters.

Reviews for Aestus, Book 1:

Reflections on writing my (first) novel

October 31, 2020

Hello!

It’s almost NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and I’m debating whether to write novel 3 while also trying to get novel 2 (the second half of my epic sci-fi series Aestus) ready for publication.

I’m very tempted. In the meantime, I have been remiss in updating this blog and I apologize. It’s been a whirlwind – from writing books 1 and 2 to editing to figuring out the Read more of this blog post »
