Her second novel, MONSTERA, released in 2023. Her third novel, SOULMATE, explores the limitations of the human consciousness.
In SOULMATE, Alaina Ryan, a renowned scientist who has dedicated her life to studying the mysteries of human consciousness, collides with Jake Matthews by chance when she travels to Chicago for a gallery exhibition of her late mother’s work. Their momentary connection proves to be life-altering for them both. Following an unexpected incident that leaves her trapped between life and death, Alaina finds herself with the unique opportunity to explore the true nature of human consciousness while separated from her physical self. As she navigates this uncharted territory, she uncovers profound revelations about identity, purpose, and the human experience. Simultaneously, Jake discovers he is able to connect with Alaina through his dreams. Each night, their shared dream world becomes a haven where they can be together without the limitations of their individual realities. Nothing is as it seems in this unsettling love story. Eloquent and eerie, alternate realities play out through concurrent storylines to form an intricately layered, genre-defying tale of suspense that will leave you questioning everything.
