Nowadays — when she's not writing novellas — she works as an internationally board-certified Life Coach who specializes in personal fulfillment for self-aware individuals.
Sagan writes the Polyamorous Passions chick lit/romantic comedy series, and has published several business books in addition to her work as a romance novelist. She published her first work of fiction in 2018.
