It’s All in Your Head comes out on February 10, 2026! It’s the perfect cozy read for a snowy day. Don’t be caught unprepared in a snow storm with nothing cute to read. Pre-order it now!
Sabina Nordqvist began writing as a way to distract herself from chronic pain and illness, and before long, she couldn’t stop creating imaginary worlds and swoony book boyfriends. When not immersed in her latest project, she’s likely doing physical therapy, reading, or searching for answers to her latest mystery symptom. A polyglot with three nationalities, she’s spent many years abroad and loves nerding out over intercultural communication and the languages she’s picked up along the way. IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD is her debut novel.

Before you go, I wanted to remind you of some classes I’m offering this Winter/ Spring!
Tension is a Question Persevering (This Saturday! 01/17)
Tension is the sense of internal curiosity that compels a reader to keep turning pages. You create tension by getting the reader to ask questions. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to structure your story so that tension is baked in, as well as tips for increasing tension on the page.
If you are a member of Writing Mastery Academy, the webinar is included in your membership. If you’ve been thinking about joining, you definitely should! WMA has tons of great materials, and I can’t recommend it enough.
