Sarena is the multi-award-winning author of "ReIncetion." Her novels are for the curious and adventurous, for people who are intrigued by a “what happens if,” scenario, and who like to explore the outcomes. Her characters are ordinary people who find out that they are capable of extraordinary things and discover that one person can truly make a difference.
After receiving a BA in art history and political science from Barnard, Sarena graduated from Fordham University School of Law. She then worked for five years at the Bronx District Attorney’s Office (BXDA), where she prosecuted sex crimes and child abuse cases. After leaving BXDA, she published a true-crime memoir, Bronx DA: True Stories from the Sex Crimes and Domestic Violence unit (Barricade, 2006). In 2010, her book sold as a TV Pilot to CBS/Paramount.
Sarena has gone on to publish numerous legal articles and works of poetry, and was an editor for a legal magazine. For a few years, she was also a talking head, commenting on current criminal cases in the media on tv and radio.
The second book in the ReInception trilogy is due to be published in September of 2024.
