HavenGuarde. The last city since an event called the solaris flare burned the skies, sending the world below into chaos and ruin. A boy from City Below awakes to find his destiny dramatically altered in the blink of an eye. But first he must clear the charges against his name in the courtrooms of justice in City Above, complete a Testing by order of the Angardian council, and enter the Gamer's Projection, a world without law or rule. Only then can he begin the long journey to Sanctum but not without the help of his friends. Yet, love, loss and betrayal lie in wait and he must tread carefully lest he be swept aside by forces outside his control. Meanwhile, outside the city walls, something stirs. And the man called Felix will make a discovery that could shake the very world once more. But the Unity continues to suppress the truth, spreading its lies and deceit over all who would be ensnared within its grasp. Enter a world of frightening beauty, a land of strange and altered landscapes, fraught with the dangerous possibilities of wonderful yet terrible technologies and the desperate struggle for control between those who wish to wield absolute power. __________________________________________________________________________________ Authors Note: Hi everyone!! Feel free to leave comments and any thoughts you might have along the way!! Have fun and enjoy the escape into another world!

About my first book: My first book, is a collection of poems put together, where, though light-hearted in expression, darker undertones lurk in between the lines. Each poem describes an alternate existence, wherein one can find escape. Each piece is in itself, an untold story, into which readers would find themselves transported, and after reading, left gasping for more!

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)
