Author: Sarah DiCello

Sarah DiCello writes romantic fiction shaped by memory, historical displacement, and the question of whether apparently separate lives can be connected. As I Close My Eyes opens the Breaking Fate sequence with Danielle Grayson experiencing vivid dreams of another time. The story develops those visions into a link with events in the nineteenth century and continues in As I Wake. DiCello studied communication and journalism at Shippensburg University and has worked in magazine publishing, experiences that informed her attention to pacing and presentation. She has also published nonfiction under the name Elisabeth Collins. In interviews about her fiction, DiCello has described the challenge of balancing research, romance, and time-travel elements while keeping the emotional choices clear. As I Close My Eyes establishes the sequence's central puzzle through recurring images and recognition rather than treating its historical setting as decoration. Its relationship between dreams, remembered places, and present decisions provides the narrative foundation that the second book develops further.
