Mira has her maps drawn; her hopes, dreams, and plans all detailed in her mind's bullet-point journal. On the outside, it appears that she's right on track. But underneath, every road she goes down feels wrong, every step feels like quicksand, her life is filled with holes and missing puzzle pieces. And she doesn't know why.
Until one afternoon she meets a stranger that points her in the right direction, leading her to the truth.
She discovers there is something beyond the world she was born to, that her dreams aren't merely the mixed-up mashing together of her life's events but actually a different life track in another world. In the dreams, in that world, her life fits. And her love waits.
This changes everything.
Only one, well two, not-so-small problems block her new plans. One, how to really get there. And two, the inhabitants are already here, among us...working to keep humans from crossing into their realm.
But when something wild calls her home, Mira can't help but heed the call.

Realm of Renee
Imagine waking up one morning, with no memories of the past three months. Learning that everyone you know is either injured, dead or brainwashed. And trying to remember your memories may result in coma or brain death, or atleast that's what the mysterious ISA claim. Don't worry, it gets better. Your past self has left behind a document, narrating all the events that has happened in the three months. A love story. Between two teenagers, one is a Human and the other, a Spirit. A love that made you do things, feel things, believe in things that you normally wouldn't have. Something that has blinded a rational person like you, maybe for the better, or worse. A love that was the best thing that had ever happened to you. And the worst part? You'll probably never remember any of it ever again. Join Renee and Noah, as they wind their way through carefully planned murders, prying eyes of the ISA, all while creating something highly illegal: The Realm of Renee. ***** 🥇1st place under Fantasy in the Carnival Awards. #1 in #realm.Complete

Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

Dreamoria - Echoes from the Beyond
Imagine this: drifting off to sleep, only to awaken in a world beyond your wildest dreams. You find yourself in a different civilization, at different point in time, where magic is a part of daily life with extraordinary laws of physics. There, free energy powers everything, immortality is a given, telepathy, telekinesis, elemental mastery and manipulation of matter are facts of reality. A realm where the science of interstellar and interdimensional space travel is taught in schools and vacations are spent on other planets of different galaxies in multiple universes. Pain and sickness are non existent and light energy (intelligent and infinitely abundant in the multiverse) creates all you'll ever need. You regularly reunite with loved ones from the past and future, living in harmony, never aging and angels are amongst the general population. That, is part of the reality I call my life - more specifically, since my 13th birthday. Before understanding what it all meant, I had to go through some experiences - a subtle and gradual initiation, which shifted my beliefs and ways of how I approached/ viewed the world. My conclusion: Now, currently 33 years old (in 2024), I feel comfortable with the research I've done, reaching a point where reality to me - is the dream and the dreams, are the real reality! And, it all started with that one vision I got, as I had just turned 13. It made life look like a big simulation, partly fabricated... like in a game. Thus, I am writing this book as a kind of journal/ a collection of the key dreams, visions and astral travels I have had - all filled with adventure, magic, romance and experiences from parallel lives that helped me explore the true nature of humanity within all of creation. I could as well be super-crazy but... I will leave that to you, to decide. Just take it all in with a hint of skepticism, self-discernment and an open mind. May this help you discover your magic within. Aaannnnd, have fun reading ;)
