Sentadi XIII
Debut novelist behind the Superior series, a three-book saga following Nara Woods and the secrets buried in her hometown of Cherrystone Falls.
Don’t be afraid — write the book and publish it. You will always find an audience.
Sentadi XIII is the creator of the Superior series, a three-book saga that follows Nara Woods and the secrets hidden in her hometown of Cherrystone Falls. The idea began in 2016, drawn from a lifelong love of science fiction, the supernatural, and character-driven stories — Sentadi wrote the story's first chapter that year, then returned to it in earnest in 2025, at which point the rest of the series came quickly.
The finished series — Superior I: A Vile Introduction, Superior II: Fusion, and Superior III: Almost Dead — is Sentadi's debut as an author, exploring identity, group dynamics, independence, control, and human nature across a story that moves between dark and humorous registers. The books were published with Evercrest Publishing, which Sentadi credits with handling the marketing and distribution side of a first release.
The standard questions
We ask every featured author the same set, so the archive is comparable.
- How did you start writing?
- I've had this idea for a story since 2016 and maybe before. The first chapter I wrote for the story was in 2016. I would write here and there little stories about the characters, but I took that original first chapter I wrote in 2016 and in 2025 began to start writing in earnest. Writing originally was a hobby, but as I began writing and finished my first story I realized I really thought the story would be interesting to other people, which led me to getting it published.
- Which publishing path did you take, and why?
- I decided to work with the publishing company Evercrest. They were reasonably priced and helped me out all throughout my publishing journey. I would love to be self-published, but I would have had no clue how to market myself or get my book out there, so I decided to go with a publishing company that's been helping me on that end.
- What was the hardest lesson?
- The hardest lesson in publishing a book is probably the marketing aspect of it. It takes a lot of money and time to market the book and to have the book find the right audience.
- What does your working setup look like?
- For a while I was writing while at work. I was a paraprofessional in a fourth-grade classroom where the kids needed minimum assistance from me, so I spent most of my time at my desk at work writing. At home I tend to write on my laptop in my living room or in my bedroom. I can personally write just about anywhere — sometimes ideas just hit me and I have to type them up in my Notes app on my phone, then later go on my laptop and include them in my story.
- What marketing actually worked?
- Right now, I'm working on social media campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok with my publisher. We are also working on a 10-episode short series on YouTube. I have a website for my series that is constantly being updated.
- What would you tell a first-timer?
- What I would tell a first-time author is don't be afraid — write the book and publish it. You will always find an audience.
