The year is 2113. Disease, war, and famine have caused the world population to shrink from 8 billion to a few hundred million within the matter of a decade. Amid societal unraveling, a revolutionary company – Dream Corp – rose from the ashes and changed world order as anyone knew it. All that remains of modern society is contained within twenty-four Dream Corp units scattered across the globe. There are no borders. There are no countries. There is only Dream Corp. A singular world economy. The product at the center of The Clockwise Revolution? Time. A team of skilled scientists have commercialized sleep banking, the process by which one extracts the restorative properties of another’s sleep. Nascent is the first book in The Clockwise Chronicles trilogy that follows a young woman coming of age, Juniper Griffith. Juniper was born and raised in Dream Corp Onyx, the first of the twenty-four Dream Corp units. Dr. Sona, the radical and zealous inventor of the technology who launched this socioeconomic revolution, oversees Dream Corp Onyx and imposes her staunch views on the residents. Juniper lives among the Aristoi, the most elite social class at Dream Corp Onyx, with her parents and younger sister. She grapples with the class system even as she accepts an invitation to join the Aristoi as an apprentice. Yet her world is turned upside down when she receives an unexpected message from an unknown source. Together with her best friend, Chaz, she embarks on a dangerous and uncertain journey to uncover the truth about Dream Corp. The reality is more dire and unfathomable than Juniper could have ever imagined.

Book One in The Lament Years Trilogy Seventy-nine years after a deadly disease nearly wiped out the human race, the survivors live under strict control on the Island. Every move is watched. Every word monitored. Yet somehow, the people don't know they’re prisoners. On the day Talise turns eighteen and prepares to be fitted with the bracelet, everything changes. She stumbles into a web of lies and deceit sewn by those in power. She learns the hard way that when people discover the truth about what the leaders have done, what they still do, those people disappear. Her future is at risk, all because she overheard a conversation. Should she stay and hide, survive. Or should she risk it all to escape? Talise can't help but wonder if leaving the 80ft walls they live within would truly mean their demise. Or if it’s another lie sold to them when the Island was built on fear and vulnerability. Obedience isn’t optional for the Island’s residents, it’s enforced. And when you live in a world built on control, freedom comes at a cost.

A new future. A chance at love. And an unknown stranger determined to destroy both.Emma Walker thought her biggest problems were work, finishing college, and a recent breakup—nothing she couldn't handle.Because when life got overwhelming, she had the barn, the horses—the one place where the rest of the world fell quiet.That is, until everything she thought she knew about her future began to fall apart—and for the first time, even the barn couldn't fix it. Not even Valentine—the new horse she shares an undeniable, heart-horse connection with.One seemingly ordinary day, everything changes. An unexpected turn of events forces Emma into a life-altering decision—pulling her far from everything she's ever known.As Emma fights to rebuild her future, a guy from her past life she never expected to see again returns just as the first of many threatening messages appears—leaving Emma unsure who she can trust.And then there's Michael—her new coworker. Impossible to fully read, holding just enough of himself back to make her question what he's hiding—even as he slowly becomes her friend and confidant.But Emma soon has something far more dangerous to worry about than complicated romantic relationships.The decision meant to change her life instead leads Emma straight into the path of someone determined to destroy everything she's worked for—maybe even her life or her horse's.Because someone is watching—and waiting for the chance to take it all away.Impelled is the first book in The Impelled Romantic Suspense Series—a closed-door, slow-burn romantic suspense book series filled with tension, twists, danger, and horse-girl resilience, following a young woman named Emma as she navigates independent life and complicated romantic relationships in her early twenties, set against the backdrop of Florida's most iconic horse capitals.
