"Days after graduating from college, Betsabé Ruiz begins her first job on Wall Street, where she plans to save enough money to eventually pursue her dreams of becoming a theatre actress. What she didn’t anticipate was that this job would allow her barely enough free time to sleep or hang out with friends, let alone take acting classes. She didn’t apprehend the magnitude of the wealth that would be swirling about her, either, or how the long hours and close quarters would infuse her professional relationships with intimacy. Still, she does her best to navigate this uncharted territory at work, where she makes an unlikely best friend and develops an unexpected attraction to her boss.
Told in the retrospective as a letter to her unborn son, Daughter of a Promise is a coming-of-age tale in which a naïve Betsabé assumed leaving her past behind was the prerequisite for succeeding as an adult. The wisdom she ultimately passes on to her child, however, is steeped in the very traditions within which her grandmother raised her back in Miami.
A modern retelling of the legend of Bathsheba and David, this novel is a reminder that the biological forces of desire and love are timeless and complicated.

Spreading across the world, a mysterious sickness has killed thousands.
Any delay means more deaths.
In a world run by corporations, Rhyllien surviving the sickness means she knows of a remedy. Or she is the cure?
Either way, she’s worth billions... Alive. Or dead.
“Lively characters and fast-paced action set in a corporate-run future: a dynamic series kicks off with a bang!” Peter J Aldin, author of Third Contact & Eventide
From the author:
The Death Wave Chronicles is a blend of mythology and ‘weird science’, fringe science and pseudoscience. Throughout the storyline — moreso in some novels than others — I will touch on subjects such as Gaia myth, Earth chakras, the power of crystals, ley lines/earth energy grid, druidism, UFO’s, aliens ... even Atlantis.
I hope you enjoy the read.
