About the author
Sera Beak is the author of Red Hot and Holy: A Heretic's Love Story and Redvelations: A Soul's Journey to Becoming Human, both published by St. Martin's Essentials in association with Sounds True. Her books are written in a first-person, confessional style that mixes memoir with unconventional spiritual teaching, addressing divine femininity, mysticism outside institutional religion, and personal revelation. Redvelations centers on a narrative connecting the author to the figure of Mary Magdalene and a forgotten daughter of Jesus, framed as a story of reclaiming suppressed spiritual history. Red Hot and Holy takes a similarly intimate approach to describing encounters with the divine in contemporary life. Both books are aimed at readers drawn to heterodox, experiential spirituality and memoir-driven religious writing rather than doctrinal or academic treatments of faith.
