The Prophecy and the Thread

​

Los Angeles, 2050. The city has fractured into encampments and walled-off districts — among them, Halcyon. Thirteen-year-old Lukas, haunted by his father’s disappearance, makes a fateful mistake on his walk home from school: he gives spare change to a homeless man who has slipped past Halcyon’s vigilant police force, HAIPE. The stranger grips Lukas’s arm and whispers a cryptic warning: Darkness is coming for you. For all of humanity. Moments later, HAIPE arrests him, leaving Lukas with a sinking certainty that the man is right.

​

Across the district, Ellie is visited by the ghost of her father, warning her to keep away from a mysterious pond that has appeared in Halcyon’s shadowed forest. Strange things continue to unfold: during a mass blackout, the Northern Lights slither like serpents across a midnight blue sky. By day, the Sun appears to dim and wither. By night, animals of the forest begin to call out…only to Lukas and Ellie.

​

When their paths collide with Charlie — a prophet wanderer who reveals the cosmic prophecy at hand — the three must band together to stop an enigmatic darkness and save the Sun and Earth from impending doom. To survive, they must confront buried lies, evade HAIPE’s vengeful leader, and resist the magnetic pull of their own shadow selves. 

 

THE PROPHECY & THE THREAD is an upmarket speculative fantasy with crossover appeal for teen and adult readers. It explores grief, shame, ecological and social disconnection, and the hidden threads that bind us — to each other and to forces far greater than we understand.

 

Victor, Victorious!

​

In a dusty Mexican town in the early 1950s, Isabel pulls the trigger and changes the course of her family forever. After discovering her husband's betrayal, she shoots him in the kneecap, gathers her five children, and flees for Los Angeles, chasing the dream of a new beginning.

​

Told in lyrical, non-linear fragments spanning three generations, Victor, Victorious! follows Isabel’s oldest son, Victor, as he inherits the role of patriarch far too soon. But even as he builds a life of his own, the past echoes through every choice.

​

This is a novel about the legacies we carry, the truths we bury, and the redemptive power of facing our earliest wounds. Victor, Victorious! is a fierce, tender portrait of one family’s journey through betrayal, survival, redemption and ultimately, healing.
