Create anything with the stroke of a pen. Power of a god or ultimate destruction?

Fate will decide.

Seventeen-year-old fantasy author, Fate Floyd, is suddenly ripped from the pages of her charmed life and cast between the covers of a deadly storybook realm in search of a magical object only she can retrieve.

While that would normally be an awesome beginning for her next book, nothing from even her darkest nightmares could have prepared her for the horde of mythic monsters and seductive fae out for her blood.

Then there’s Finn. The young, golden-haired Scottish druid who looks as if he stepped straight out of her secret journal. Fate will soon discover why he feels eerily familiar and way too good to be true…

Silicon Valley in the 2030s is filled with vaguely sexist CEOs, contested inequality politics, and joke-able startups. After her job folds and she loses her home to wildfire, Sara joins the latest thing: an unnamed tech giant’s quasi-utopian community, floating above former Monterey. Alone on the inside with a thousand mysteriously chosen strangers, Sara is insulated from the turmoil of crumbling governments and catastrophic climate. Those around her seems incredibly thankful, rescued from gig work and student loans and bad news, but she can’t find her own gratitude. As she learns more about her new home, she begins to see the cracks in its perfect facade. She must choose between surveillance and lies from the anonymous algorithms that protect her or face a vulnerable life outside the system to which she has signed away the next five years. Leaving, she learns, may not even be an option.

What if you found out that Covid 19 was a manmade disease? It didn’t just happen, they made it happen?
In 2016, I authored the book “The Flaw.” It went on to chronicle mass shootings and a raging uncontrollable epidemic that would consume the planet.
This follow-up book “Aftershock, the COVID Effect,” looks at how a manmade virus affects the world’s population. It is a fictional representation of the Covid pandemic, told through the eyes of the protagonist, Dr. Olivia Walters.
Olivia is not impressed with the fact that her boyfriend warned those in charge of what this virus could do to the world but was ignored. As she reads through his research notes, she soon realizes the extent of the virus’ different variants. Though vaccination is said to be working, Olivia knows the truth—it will only work for one strain, not the next.
