Sapien Flora is a dystopian novel exploring faith, memory, and survival in a fractured future. Set in 2048 America within a remote New Mexico settlement called The Gardens, the story follows Christina—a homeless single mother of two—who becomes entangled in a world of eerie beauty, ritual devotion, and a mysterious hallucinogenic flower said to connect followers with divine visions.

As the lines blur between salvation and control, Christina must navigate a haunting new reality where forgetting may be safer than remembering—and where disobedience comes at a devastating cost.

Writing this novel has been both a passion and a form of healing. Long before I studied the fundamentals of journalism and public relations, I wrote from the heart—through poetry, stories, and scraps of dialogue that gave shape to the things I couldn’t yet say out loud. Sapien Flora was born from that same place: a space where imagination and survival meet.
