COMING SOON!
THE ISLANDERS
OCCASIONALLY A STORY RESURFACES AND RESONATES WITH A GENERATION.
Bridging over thirty years, and playing out across a forever glittering San Diego backdrop, The Islanders is the captivating story of personal growth, passion, and friendship— as well as that of several generations who shared the same dangerous rite of passage. It is a reminder of an era that ultimately came to an end, and to the lucky ones who experienced it all, unscathed.
Sofia Madison revisits the summer of 1987, growing up on the magical island of Coronado where the Southern California sun was hot, and the boys were everywhere. It was the year she tested the boundaries of her strict upbringing and started to figure out who she really was— and more importantly, what she wanted. With the help of her daring best friend Hannah, she was able to taste freedom, and follow her heart— risking everything in the spirit of youth and adventure as they followed the generations before them in secretly slipping across the border into Mexico under the veil of night, underage.
Amongst the gorgeous surfers, academics, and musicians on the island, were a pair of emancipated twins, Trey and Jaimie Knox. Maddie was immediately drawn to Trey and soon found herself in the arms of the irresistible identical twin. Although the chemistry with Trey was mysteriously inconsistent, she never forgot the night they shared a kiss so incredible, she thought it must have been fate that pulled the elements together to accomplish the moment that lingered in her mind for fifteen years.
When the notorious flame resurfaces at a high school reunion, this coming-of-age story evolves into one filled with steamy encounters and dreams fulfilled as they revisit the memories that bond them through space and time. However, as Maddie followed her intuition down an unexpected road of empowerment and bittersweet revelations, there was something missing. Her best friend.

Sofia Madison is a fun-loving, adventurous, and thoughtful woman. Like many unmarried women approaching forty, Maddie had built a wall to protect herself from experiencing any more heartache, or disappointment at the hands of another man.
On a trip to Las Vegas, she watches her dearest friend walk down the aisle, and begins to re-evaluate her life. She decides to take down her wall, if only for the weekend, and the days following proved to be life-changing. Maddie’s passion is set aflame when she encounters a handsome and very charming Englishman at a roulette table on her last night in Vegas, and what started as a one night stand became something much bigger.
During their whirlwind, long-distance relationship, Maddie is swept away by Cullen’s affections, generosity, and the elegance of his love making. With Cullen, life was a constant stream of high-profile romantic getaways, and dreams fulfilled. However, as Cullen mastered a complete integration into her life, Maddie was immune to any instinctual, or external warnings that might reveal him as someone other than the man he portrayed himself to be.
Bridget Jones Diary meets Sex and The City, in Sofia Madison and The Voice Within. A relatable and contemporary Chick-Lit novel complete at 65,000 words. The story is told from a first person POV, and tells a story about how not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
IN THE WORKS:
Sofia Madison The Yachtie Raised in a life of luxury, Maddie was constantly exposed her father’s passion for boats. Instead of preparing her to simply be a pampered passenger on a mega yacht, he groomed her to one day captain her own. When their fortune was lost, Maddie dropped out of school and got a job doing the only thing she knew. She dashed her dreams of being a theatre major and became a Yachtie, working big boat charters all over the world.
In four short years, she tirelessly worked her way to the top, gaining expertise and respect along the way. However the years of physical work, dealing with her crew’s antics, and conceding to the outlandish requests of the rich and spoiled passengers, brought on a major case of burn out.
Maddie was looking forward to the break between charter seasons when she was given an offer she couldn’t refuse— to captain a 100 ft. yacht from The Florida Keys, to Isla Mujeres— a small island in the Caribbean where she would be able to relax while the vessel underwent some needed repairs.
Three weeks of bliss without needy passengers or a complaining crew. Just Maddie, living on a yacht docked at a resort marina. Sunbathing, lobster, and margaritas were all Maddie could think about as she got on the plane bound for Florida. Little did she know, freedoms of self, sexuality, and potentially dangerous new friendships awaited her on the enchanted tropical island.
The Haunted Room (WIP)
Paranormal Historical Fiction, YA, Coming-Of-Age
Untouched by the rest of the world, the Southern California island of Coronado is so beautiful it is even magical at times, but a haunting truth lies beneath. In this place, where happy and sun-kissed islanders reside, dwell the deadly and lecherous well. A century of buried secrets surrounding the death of a young woman, Kate Morgan, have been trapped within the walls of the islands historic landmark, The Hotel Del Coronado. Only assumptions could be made when her lifeless body was found near a tormented seaside, four stories below her hotel window. It’s rumored that her spirit remains to linger the hallways of the elegant hotel; and on similar stormy nights, sightings of her silhouette have been reported, eerily drifting in front of the hotel along the Pacific shoreline. The mystified hotel staff affectionately deemed Kate “The Beautiful Stranger”, as was not much was known about her. However, the curiosity of why an affluent young woman would be traveling alone in the year 1892, sparked many elaborate tales.
On the one-hundred-year anniversary of Kate’s death, a guest of the hotel, Sofia, a naive and vulnerable clairvoyant numinously draws Kate into materialization, pulled forth by the sheer force of the young girl’s power, and the uncanny parallels in their lives. A connection is made and for the first time, Kate communicates with the living— to help the girl and her mother from suffering a similar fate and unravel the secrets preventing her unsettled spirit from eternal rest.
While Sofia’s discovery of long buried town secrets pose to threaten the islands pristine façade, she emerges into a strong and determined woman who refuses to be silenced by the townspeople in jeopardy of losing everything if the truth surfaces above their lies. With the help from the ghost of Kate Morgan, she reveals the truth of a small-town paradise where not everything is what it seems beyond the walls of The Haunted Room.
