Kellasandra Ferrara returns with a powerful new literary work, Time Spent Under My Broken Sky, a genre defying short fiction collection that seamlessly weaves together supernatural mystery, crime thriller, science fiction drama, and a reimagined fairy tale rooted in sorrow and hope.
Following the success of her award-winning debut poetry collection Time Spent Under My Broken Umbrella, Ferrara expands her creative universe with seven immersive stories that traverse dying Earths, fractured cities, lost loves, and fragile futures. Each narrative stands alone, yet together they form a tapestry of resilience and longing that speaks directly to the wanderer within every reader.
At the heart of this collection lies a bold artistic statement. Ferrara challenges traditional storytelling boundaries, demonstrating that shorter works can hold the same emotional gravity as sweeping novels and that multiple genres can coexist within one cohesive literary experience.
Her work has already earned cinematic recognition. Screenplays adapted from her stories have won major honors, including:
• Sea Glass – Winner, Best Thriller Screenplay • Satellite Womb – Winner, Best Sci Fi Screenplay
Additional screenplays such as Like Angels With Burning Wings and Satellite Womb have also received finalist distinctions, further underscoring the visual and cinematic strength of her storytelling.
Ferrara’s creative process is deeply visual and music driven. Inspired by a poetic prompt around the word “Fireflies” and the imagery of “angels with burning wings,” one fleeting line transformed into a 12,000-word story and eventually a screenplay. Her ability to see stories not only as prose but as cinematic experiences has shaped the rhythm and structure of this collection.
Beyond her literary achievements, Ferrara’s journey is marked by resilience. Living with severe uncontrolled asthma, COPD chronic bronchitis, and significant hearing loss, she writes with an acute awareness of time and mortality. After a life changing ICU stay, she made a defining decision to take ownership of her time and create something tangible, something lasting. That decision became the catalyst for her books.
“I take complete ownership of my Time,” Ferrara shares. “I have accepted the gravity of my illness but will not let it diminish its brilliance.”
With Time Spent Under My Broken Sky, Ferrara invites readers into fractured worlds where sorrow births strength and even under the heaviest sky, hope still flickers. The collection is lyrical, visceral, and unflinchingly raw, crafted not just to be read but to be felt.
