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. I think I succeeded. :) Check out Book 1: The City. Reviews for Aestus, Book 1: SPSFC2 Finalist | 2021 Kindle Book Review Award Finalist "....at the level of Frank Herbert's Dune." - IHeartSci-fi "...nothing less than brilliant." - C. J. Shane "...masterful...on par with the best in the genre." - A. R. Saida "Aestus has the makings of a viral sensation. It's that good. We all know those series you just can't seem to escape....the fantasy stories that bridge the gap between YA and Adult fiction, ushering in the readers by the masses. I think that Aestus has all the makings of doing the same thing, but for the sci-fi genre." - Ian the Reader, SPSFC2 judge "....a gifted writer who knows how to maintain suspense as well as anyone writing today...." - C. Dorman "One of the best books I've ever read" - The Very Bookish "....There are a lot of 'living in a hole in the ground after X disaster' novels, but this one manages to be new. Aestus is visceral and disturbing...you are compelled to feel the fear and the toil. It was not a book I devoured in a couple of sittings, but some of the scenes and images stuck with me for a long time afterwards...." - J. C. Duncan "It's hard to write a review of this book because I'm afraid that my description won't do it justice. This is a phenomenal read....I can't remember the last time I read a book this fast nor one that stayed with me for so long." - A. W. "...a many-layered exploration of humanity and justice....Read this book! It says so much about our world, who we are, the challenges we face...." - I. M. "....the best fiction book I've read this year...." - R Sha All reviews used with permission of the reviewers ——— In my offline professional life, I have written largely about physics and astronomy. I thought it would be interesting to apply those skills to fiction, to see what a world after centuries of climate change might look like. I have another speculative-fiction project in the works, one set much closer to the present time. Also in my offline non-professional life, I love cats and do archery. I also really like good tea and conversation. Feel free to reach out!
