SJ Masiello is a self-published debut author who has been an avid reader and lover of historical fiction, adventure, and romance for as long as she can remember. Whether it be Middle Eastern, Asian, American, British, Scottish, or Egyptian history, SJ is completed captivated.

SJ uses her BA in Psychology along with her dance studio business to guide, mentor and motivate individuals to be their best selves through hard work, perseverance, and positive self concept. It has been her life's mission to build confidence in the individuals that surround her.

She truly believes that "female empowerment" is not a privilege that is given to woman. On the contrary, SJ believes that it is a state of mind. The feeling of empowerment is the understanding that women can do anything. With hard work, dedication, purposeful intention, confidence, and perseverance, woman can push themselves to their best potential.

Even within this series, SJ explores the theme that women should not be subjected to be what others expect them to be. They are not limited to only one dream. They are multi-faceted and multi-talented individuals who can do anything they put their minds to.

SJ lives in a beautiful seaside town in Rhode Island where she resides with her husband, three sons, and dog named Romeo. When she is not writing, she can be found teaching dance, traveling, cooking, baking, gardening, watching her favorite Turkish series, painting, or dreaming about what's next for her as she moves forward through this journey of life.
