Every great saga relies on a heartbeat—a force that drives the narrative forward through the darkest layers of the grid. In The Written Soul, that heartbeat belongs to Mia Sanchez-Walker.
Mia isn't just a participant in this universe; she is a foundational pillar. Her choices, her resilience, and her hidden depth shape the trajectory of the entire story. While readers are just beginning to scratch the surface of her journey in Season One, her true origin story runs much deeper.
Exploring the Lab: A Journey into Heritage
Right now in the creative lab, I am actively writing the next chapter of this universe. A major focus of this upcoming book is diving deep into Mia’s Venezuelan background.
Heritage isn't just a background detail; it shapes how a character views survival, family, and freedom. Exploring her roots allows me to bring an authentic, rich cultural lens to the sci-fi elements of the story, showing how the strength of her ancestors fuels her actions within the grid.
A Note of Solidarity
Writing this heritage into the text means looking closely at the real world, too. As I build out Mia’s background in the lab, my thoughts and support are heavily with the people of Venezuela and everything they are enduring down there right now. The resilience, courage, and hope of the Venezuelan people are qualities that live directly inside Mia's DNA, and I hope to honor that strength through her character.
