Sen, Sanja & the Cube of RunesA demon. A droid. A cube of broken runes. Can the soulful siblings track their missing parents through loopy dimensions?
Sen and Sanja’s parents vanish in mysterious and ominous circumstances. After Social Services threatens to shunt them off to an orphanage, the intrepid siblings gather their vast magical know-how and sharp detective wits and set off to find their mom and dad. Following the directions of their first clue—a rune-riddled Cube found in their non-existent attic—our heroes open a trans-dimensional portal located inside their toy tent. With Social Service agents at their heels, Sen and Sanja navigate through impossible dimensions and extraordinary worlds in their trusty vessel Miss Moany, collecting a curious company of allies along the way. Will they find their parents and unseal all the Runes of the Cube?

The Helix LibraryYou were once magic, but you sold off pieces of yourself to the machine. You were once free, but the shadow program caged you.
The Helix Library is a platform to share some parts of The Helix Library Mythos and to highlight the Stories from the Helix Library Series. The collection includes multidimensional content including stories, poetry, spoken word, philosophy, games, novels, art, codes, experiences, and other creations. A small fraction of The Helix Library Mythos has been uploaded as a teaser, and the majority will be released in the next 2 to 15 years.
Our purpose is to catalyze sovereign entity consciousness, foster conscious self-mastery, spotlight and teach the vital role of heart coherence, and key particular perceptions and emotional orientations that, if used as wings, can dismantle the cages we live in and free the human mind-body system from its negative precedents, patterning and programming. Through the catalytic inspiration of the high imagination and via Stories from the Helix Library, we offer new templates, new ways of being and perceiving, and new models of our fundamental selves.
Don’t just take my word for it.

"From the moment Sarah started working with me she was more than an editor. She was like a therapist and coach guiding me to honest emotion I forgot was within myself. Gracefully leading me into new territories of my own novel, she saw themes within my work that I couldn’t see myself. Sarah coached me to understand timelessness in words, the impact of tension, and grounding scenes in senses. I have worked with her for several years now and multiple projects are blooming from one request for a simple content and line edit. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of editing support on all levels."—Dylan Ladd, author of A Pirate's Star (forthcoming)

Sarah provided line-editing that made me see the world in a different way, opening and expanding my mind into new realms of potential. She edits words in a way that made me realise how much I had been missing. Her copyediting, content creation, and work on my digital resources for my business has been top-notch and full of life.

"Sarah’s insights into my writing and her perfect editorial suggestions are delivered with a kind neutral ring of being, to the point, and with such soft precision that not once did I feel threatened, wanting to stubbornly defend my own truth. She possesses an extraordinary gift of being able to open fresh space and with patience keep it open for the writer to ultimately expand into a new vision, closer and truer to their own innermost creative guidance. Working with Sarah is a veritable adventure of constant sweet learning and efficient productive play at the same time.
