Acknowledgments

The Katalyst Trilogy Book 2 “The Fools Path” releases on February 15, 2026
All the info: here

ONLY AFTER I had written The Fool’s Path, Book II of The Katalyst, did I begin to understand the fiery element that had emerged in the story. Fire as transformation without return. A force that can destroy, but also heal—if it is contained.

In this book, fire is present in the dedication of the many characters and in their cooperation. It appears in strokes of genius, in moments of surprise, and in the blessing of unexpected encounters: discoveries of ancient wisdom that add strength from within. Fire is also found in the beauty of art—here, the age-old flamenco dance, transformed into modern performance.

More hearth-like is the glowing radiance of ancient civilizations that left their traces behind, as if the stones of the summer city in this novel are not only heated by this year’s blazing sun, but warmed through and through by fires tended across millennia. There is no civilization, no culture, without hearths: places to warm oneself, to find shelter, and to gather.

It has been a surprising journey for me. Seville was surprising. The appearance of new characters seemed simply to happen, yet all of it was part of this Katalyst working quietly behind the scenes. Even the title The Fool’s Path emerged only after the path itself had revealed itself. Along the way, there were multiple Grail figures, acting within a Parzival-like mixture of innocence, naïveté, and an underlying wisdom deeper than I had first imagined. In short: the archetypes in the novel took care of themselves—and of me. I only had to follow.

I could do that only because of the many people who have inspired me in my own life: through their presence, their wisdom, their knowing and not-knowing (and their awareness of both), their seeking, their generosity, their dedication. Again, people as they are, with their vocations, their professions, and their own fates to live with.

Again, I do not name them personally—and often I could not—since stories and characters go their own ways. This is me thanking all those people in real life whom I cherish and admire. And it is my characters thanking them as well, because their lives gain color and depth through the people of the so-called real world who touch mine.

Fire itself is both powerful and playful. Fire can be foolish—and it can save lives.

May the warmth of enthusiasm lighten you and strengthen you in what you seek and do.

Everything depends on those who join.

Thank you for joining.

🌿 About the Book

The Name of the Land (The Katalyst Trilogy Book 3 of 3) by Nina Rosewood

A profound and miraculous healing takes place at the heart of the festival —
where modern medicine joins with millennia-old knowledge of where true healing begins.

Returning from a midsummer night heavy with mysteries in Seville,
the threads of destiny begin to come together for all involved.
The healing spreads like a living force, transforming lives and linking destinies.
The circle of eight expands to twelve around the central figure,
who chooses to make room for the generation to come.

Everyone grows more grounded, more deeply involved, more empowered.
Dazzling last-minute art performances burst forth,
and new lifelong bonds are formed.
The grail’s triumphant gift nourishes all who dare to engage.

The story moves from Seville back to the castle,
into a hidden valley in the heart of Portugal,
and along the Atlantic coast near Lisbon.
Yet even wider and more moving are the inner landscapes —
hopes, vocations, ideals, and the new means of bringing them to life.
The Katalyst brings hope.

A story like this must have an open end —
because life always goes on, both inside and beyond any book.

🌿 About the Book

The Fool’s Path (The Katalyst Trilogy Book 2 of 3) by Nina Rosewood

The festival unfolds beneath a blazing midsummer sun. The silent drama of its founder remains hidden, until a fool’s journey begins, and everything suddenly changes.
What if you dream an absurd story?
What if you receive clues you can’t yet understand — encounters disguised as ordinary meetings — that leave traces in your soul and cause a lucid diagnosis to take shape?
You may resist it. You feel like a fool, because it seems to make no sense, and you’re not ready for the risk. Until you are. And then, everything — and everyone — starts to come together.
A small group leaves the festival grounds for a single day — a last-minute journey through midsummer’s day and night.
Their brief absence becomes the turning point. The organizer’s illness connects them all, and among them moves the spirit of the fool: lighthearted, unguarded, and — in their cooperation — carrying the wisdom and knowledge that heals.
When they return the next morning, nothing feels the same.

The Fool’s Path deepens The Catalyst Trilogy into its living paradox — where healing includes weakness, and enthusiasm has the power to break every obstacle.

🌿 About the Book

A DAY LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS
A novel about the mysterious grace of falling in love
Some stories don’t shout. But they stay with you forever.
June 16, 1972. A midsummer day on the Dutch coast. Rosanne and John are both fifteen — wide-eyed, unprepared — when something extraordinary happens: they meet, and fall in love. Head over heels. Complete. Laughing, stumbling, touched to the bone. And moved to tears by the unspeakable, coming in the shape of a lover.
Its magic ripples through everyone around them. Friends, classmates, villagers — and even a few not-quite-earthly helpers in disguise — all seem to join the gentle conspiracy: let this love take root.
Told with warmth, humor, and emotional depth, A Day Like a Thousand Years is a love story that dares to believe in goodness — not as fantasy, but as something real. In a world full of noise, this novel offers something quietly radical:

What if everything — like in this tale — worked for love?
And what if we remembered how powerful that is?

Teenagers do. Romantics do. Anyone who knows how much tenderness matters — and how the stories we tell shape the world we live in.
A celebration of first love, written with the respect it deserves. Without love our world would be: dead.

🌿 About the Book

SURRENDERING
Sometimes the heart travels further than time allows

What if the love of your life lived in another century?

When Rozemarijn Vandevelde, a gifted pianist in 2021, makes her choice that changes everything, she awakens on the sunlit shores of the Côte d’Azur—in that year 1901.
There, with no memory of her former life, she becomes Marie-Rose Duchamps.
She meets Claude Ferrier, a composer haunted by longing and bound by convention. Their love is immediate, transformative—and fleeting.
A sudden storm tears them apart, sending her back to her own century. In 1901, her body is never found.

But love leaves traces.
Claude dreams of her. Composes for her.
And Rozemarijn, now changed forever, finds her music deepening with echoes of another life.
Years later, standing before an orchestra in Sydney, she hears the waves again—the same ones that once carried her love away.

Did she find him? Or did he find her?
A story of time’s mysteries, the memory of music, and the kind of love that refuses to end.

Surrendering is a hauntingly beautiful novel about love that travels further than time allows, written with the lyrical grace and emotional depth of Nina Rosewood.

🌿 About the Book

TWIN CITY
A love that crosses borders — and selves

First, a meteorite falls off the coast of California. Then, a chance encounter at a gas station on the highway to El Paso. What seems accidental unfolds into a love that feels larger than time itself. Through John, Rosanne discovers who she truly is—crossing both inner and outer boundaries to get there.
El Paso–Ciudad Juárez
The story unfolds in the twin metropolis on the US–Mexico border. The city itself becomes a kind of womb—holding and awakening the twin-being of Rosanne and John.
Vanished Twin Syndrome
What binds them so deeply? Are they soulmates? Reincarnations of Castor and Pollux? Or caught in the paradox of Vanished Twin Syndrome? Their love carries its own absurdity—absurd, meaning beyond reason’s order, yet never senseless.
Love creates
Love generates, reflects, transforms. In the short time they are given together, Rosanne and John celebrate each day, each night. Their story is grounded in the streets they walk, the colors and rhythms of the borderland.
The offering
At the end, Rosanne makes a sacrifice. Out of love—though the how remains untold. Its effect resonates almost mythically: a radiant hope in a city long scarred by femicide. Has she disappeared? Or has she finally become who she truly is: Rosa Ana? It is as if the city itself receives back the love it once gave—returned, as a gift from twin to twin.

🌿 About the Book

The Sky Travellers, first part of the Katalyst Trilogy:

In a mountain town where borders blur, a ten-day festival pulls in artists, doctors, musicians — and eight strangers who suddenly feel as if they’ve stepped into the beginning of something huge. Music, laughter, late-night talks, impossible coincidences… and a sense that their lives are about to change.

This book opens the door. The next two volumes walk through it.
