This is a story of the birth of a new theme park in Southern California.
The designers and investors begin with the best of intentions. They want to balance ideas like "It's a small world after all" with ideas like "In America we speak English." But big construction projects seldom go exactly as planned or budgeted. Some of the good intentions are met with centuries-old hostility, and the designers and investors are left bickering over what kind of park to build. Do they plow ahead with their original plans? Or do they compromise and accommodate? In the age of Trump, compromise is considered weakness. Should they man up and present concepts that modern cultures need to hear? Or should they act reasonably?
Leith, one of the lead designers, is a workaholic who is content in a loving, stable marriage that doesn't require much maintenance. Until he realizes that's just the theme-park version of marriage.
A novel in 24 chapters.

SAMPLE// A young woman happens to be at the either the wrong place at the right time or the right place at the wrong time. To some it might have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, to others it was the wrong place at the right time vise-versa, but to her it was the right place at the right time. ______________________ Suddenly I'm being spun around and trapped into someone's arms. Mystery man has his hands wrapped round my waist with my arms trapped between the two of us. "Don't try me." He says in a dangerous voice. " Go along with it. Make it look like I'm about to kiss you." he whispers in my ear. I don't know if I should or not, but then I heard that insulting woman talk again. " You wouldn't dare." She seethed. " You've gone much further than this. What makes you think that I wouldn't?" He said coldly. First of all who would want to cheat on this heavenly masterpiece. Suddenly he bends down to an angle which makes it look like we were kissing. His breath was fanning onto my neck making it almost irresistible to not kiss him.

The Marriage Deal.
What do you get when you mix a stubborn, beautiful woman with an arrogant, handsome man, and there's already a history between them? The results may vary: intense arguing, lies, hatred, sexual tension so strong, it's palpable. When London Withers' company's latest challenge brought her and her unintentional one night standee together, she doesn't know what to do, how to feel. Of course, she mostly blamed herself for dropping her name in the slot box during a moment of weakness. She should've known the moment would pass. Now, she was stuck, married to a man she absolutely abhorred for two months and a half and she couldn't do anything about it. It didn't help that she had been celibate for nearly a year and that he is still just as sinfully good looking as he was the last time she'd seen him. Will the lies, hatred and the arguing worsen or will everything take a complete turn in another direction, one London never anticipated?Complete

Frozen Embers
OUT NOW! Life is quiet, till it isn't. Change is abrupt and has the tendency of appearing quickly and overwhelmingly. So what else are you supposed to do, rather than detach yourself, just to survive with the change? My life was planned. I had it all written in stone and had accepted what my life would become. I never wanted a life that was very adventurous or challenging. I wanted it to all be as mundane as possible. All of this change has to slow down because I'm not sure how much of it I can handle. I was expecting to live a beige life; nothing exciting or daring, the days would be all the same till they all blended into the other, I would work a desk job and marry a man who would lie and say that he wasn't sexist but then would use microaggressions constantly and who wouldn't understand the word 'no', the normal things in life. That's what I had been prepared for. Though it sure as hell wasn't what I got.Complete
