Kael wakes up inside a managed afterlife and has to figure out what's real, what's controlled, and what it costs to stay human when the system is designed to make that impossible. Somatic cyberpunk. Five gates. One capstone. The Crown Gate closes the entire arc — and the entire 15-book universe.
A Southern Gothic family thriller set on the Chesapeake Bay. Two estranged sisters. A dead father. A sinking house. A nor'easter bearing down. And twenty-five years of silence buried under a dock. Between the Tides is a novel about what towns bury, what water returns, and what the body remembers when the mind refuses to look.
Jaxson Knows
A children's picture book series about a mini Aussie-rat terrier mix who helps kids listen to what their bodies are already telling them. Each book introduces one somatic signal — one feeling the body knows before the brain has words for it — through the three-way friendship between a child, a dog named Jaxson, and a stuffed fox named Foxy who speaks in the voice you almost forgot was yours. Coming Soon.
