Life Without Appeal (2021).
Meet Hector.
Part cynic, part idealist, Louisiana-born Hector moves to Washington, D.C. for law school, where he fights demons of his past as he pursues his legal education. As 1L year carries on, Hector is increasingly drawn into the dark, evasive life of his late grandfather, Tom, who bears many similarities to Hector, and who died at the age of 30. As Hector learns about his grandfather’s life, his own life becomes perilously close to mirroring Tom’s tragic fate.
Meet Emily.
Confident and cool, Emily has had her life all mapped out since she was in grade school. At least, that is what she wants people to believe. Law school is just another box on her checklist as she works toward her desired future as a prosecutor. She soon learns that it won’t be as easy as she expected, and when she gets involved in a classmate’s ethical transgression, she finds her entire future—and her life—in jeopardy.
Hector and Emily encounter friendships, romance, loss, and betrayal as they navigate their first year of law school against the backdrop of northeast Washington, D.C. (Literary Fiction)
Passing Clouds(2023). After a turbulent few years, aspiring travel writer Rafe Christian finds peace and healing through studying the ancient practices of yoga and meditation in India. Filled with optimism and positivity following an ayurvedic retreat in Kerala—and reluctant to return to his native England, where old ghosts and an uncertain future await him—Rafe books a flight to Pakistan, where he is instantly abducted.
In captivity, Rafe must come to terms with the choices he has made throughout his life, and he must learn to accept his present situation. Throughout, he develops a close friendship with his fellow captive, Gregory Whitman, a middle-aged American attorney-turned-professor whose practical, cynical worldview often clashes with Rafe’s idealistic, innocent viewpoint. Together, Rafe and Gregory must learn to survive moment by moment, passing time with conversations light and humorous, deep and meaningful, trying not to pay much mind to the reality of their situation. Constantly lurking in the back of their minds is the question of who has kidnapped them and when, if ever, they will be free.
Full of heart and surprising humor, Passing Clouds explores the endurance of the human spirit in the face of seemingly unbearable circumstances. Lightness and darkness must coexist, and the transience of the present moment must be embraced and celebrated.
