The Barefoot Mystery School
A character-driven novel about choosing a different way to live — and the quiet ripple that choice creates.
Blending emotional realism with spiritual depth, Barefoot Mystery School begins with Ostara, a woman who steps away from conventional living and begins walking barefoot in alignment with her inner truth. What unfolds is not a solitary awakening, but a gathering.
Rowan, a man whose steadiness and quiet strength shape the land beside her, becomes both partner and mirror — discovering that devotion asks as much of him as it does of her. Around them forms a circle of women and men navigating their own questions of integrity, leadership, desire, and belonging. In firelit conversations and open-air retreats, strength is redefined — not as dominance, but as presence; not as control, but as grounded responsibility.
Each character must decide how much of their truth they are willing to live.
As the sanctuary deepens through ritual, art, and honest exchange, awakening unfolds slowly — not as spectacle, but as lived complexity.
Wild, but True
Claire is married, steady, and perfectly sensible — until a long-running fantasy steps off the stage and into her real life. Borne Wild is not just a crush; he’s a global rock phenomenon, equal parts chaos and charisma, whose existence was supposed to remain safely on playlists and posters.
What begins as a daring, fully consensual experiment between spouses takes an unexpected turn when desire, timing, and biology decide to collaborate.
As private life collides with public spectacle, Claire and Borne must navigate the kind of situation no self-help book quite prepares you for. The possibility of parenthood turns theory into permanence, and fantasy into something far more grounded — and surprisingly tender.
Warm, provocative, and edged with dry humor, Wild, but True explores what happens when life ignores the odds, love refuses neat categories, and the unexpected demands maturity.
A story about desire, responsibility, and the quiet art of staying steady when reality gets creative.
Forget Me Not
Stella is drawn to the promise of intentional community and plant medicine — to the idea that ceremony might unlock clarity and purpose.
But what she finds is more complex than revelation. In unfamiliar spaces and with people she barely knows, moments of discomfort sharpen her awareness. She begins to understand that altered states do not replace discernment — and that growth depends as much on the choices leading into ceremony as on the sovereignty she claims afterward.
From South America to the UK and across Europe, Stella’s journey becomes less about chasing transformation and more about understanding what it truly asks of her. In unfamiliar spaces, moments of unease sharpen into clarity. She learns that altered states can open doors — but they do not replace discernment. The real magic begins when she returns home to herself, choosing boundaries, authenticity, and purpose in her waking life.
Forget Me Not is a thoughtful, emotionally honest story about searching for meaning — and discovering that sovereignty is not found in escape, but in awareness.
Lighthouse Letters
Dermot is a tattoo artist with an old-school romantic heart. Loyal, steady, and quietly devoted, he believes love is something you build — patiently and deliberately — until it becomes unshakable.
But as his relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiancée begins to shift, what once felt solid grows uncertain. Beneath shared plans and careful words, something is quietly misaligned. When the truth surfaces — not through confrontation, but through discovery — Dermot is forced to reckon with more than betrayal. He must question his own willingness to overlook what he already sensed.
Other women move through his orbit: a receptionist who understands him more than he admits, a longtime client whose loyalty carries warmth, another whose brief presence lingers longer than expected. Attraction hums, but clarity does not come from impulse. It comes from listening.
Retreating to the coast, Dermot learns to trust his instincts rather than his ideals. As illusion dissolves, he begins to understand what he truly wants — and what he will no longer settle for.
Reflective and emotionally grounded, Lighthouse Letters explores masculine vulnerability, discernment, and the quiet strength it takes to choose love that aligns with your truth.
A story about self-trust, timing, and seeing clearly enough to begin again.

Across contemporary and mystical-realist settings, her work examines how truth reveals itself not through dramatic events, but through small decisions made with growing awareness.

At the heart of every story is the same question:
What changes when we begin trusting ourselves again?
