The Sarah the Magnificent books follow a single guiding figure as different children face different fears. Each story stands on its own, while together they trace how fear changes over time and how courage becomes something practiced rather than given.

Alongside the series, I’m also developing a collection of poetry written for adult readers.

Sarah the Magnificent: The Boy and the Dark

Book One — Picture Book

The first book introduces Sarah and the imagined fears of early childhood. Monsters take shape in the dark, familiar and overwhelming, and imagination becomes a way of engaging with fear rather than avoiding it.

Sarah the Magnificent: The Girl and the Dream

Book Two — Picture Book

The second book turns inward. Fear appears as dreams and nightmares, less visible and harder to reason with. Sarah learns how to stay present inside her own inner world and take control of what once felt unmanageable.

Sarah the Magnificent — Book Three

In Progress

The third book brings fear into everyday life. Anxiety no longer hides in shadows or dreams but shows up unexpectedly, woven into ordinary moments. Bravery here is quieter and more deliberate, practiced while moving through the real world.

Sarah the Magnificent — Book Four

In Development

The final book widens the scope of the series. As Sarah approaches adolescence, the danger becomes the slow erasure of self under expectation and change. The children she has helped along the way return, not to rescue her, but to remind her who she was before forgetting became possible.

Poetry Collection

In Progress

Alongside my work for children, I’m assembling a collection of poems written for adult readers. The work focuses on endurance, doubt, memory, and the quiet pressure of time passing. These poems resist easy closure and favor attention over explanation.
