  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, as she watches her dearest friend walk down the aisle, Maddie re-evaluates her life. She decides to take down her wall, if only for the weekend, and the days following the wedding proved to be life-changing. Maddie’s passion is set aflame when she encounters a handsome and very charming Englishman. 
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.

 Behind the Bubble (Women's Fiction)The prequel to Sofia Madison And the Voice Within. The coming of age story of Sofia Madison, as she navigates her way through adolescence, and growing up in an exclusive Southern California community. A place that is beautiful and even magical at times. However, a haunting truth lies beneath. And here, where only the most privileged of people reside, dwell the deadly and lecherous well.
     A century of buried secrets has been trapped within the walls of the historic Hotel Del Coronado. Secrets surrounding the death of a young woman, Kate Morgan. Not much was known about “The Beautiful Stranger”, other than how unusual it was for an affluent young woman to be traveling alone in the year 1892.
     Only assumptions could be made when her body was found lifeless, on the deck- four stories below her hotel window. It has been said  her spirit is left to linger the elegant hallways; And on stormy nights, her dark silhouette has been reported by many a hotel employee or guest- to be lingering along the Pacific shoreline in front of the hotel.
     On the one-hundred-year anniversary of Kate’s death, a young girl staying with her mother in “The Haunted Room”, makes a connection with Kate. Through the child’s clairvoyance, and the uncanny parallels in their lives, Kate is drawn forward into materialization. For the first time, she is able to communicate with the living, and she knows why; She must help the girl and her mother from suffering the same fate she endured.
     Family dynamics, sexual awakenings, tough life lessons, and long buried town secrets emerge in a place so secretive, media has been banned in order to keep the islands pristine façade intact. From a once naïve and vulnerable girl, emerges a strong and determined woman. One who refuses to be silenced by the townspeople- and with the help from the ghost of Kate Morgan, she reveals the truth about the small-town paradise where not everything is what it seems, behind the bubble.

(Women's fiction, YA, Chick-Lit)
In Part 1: Double Trouble (YA), Sofia Madison revisits her past. The summer of 1987 when the sun was bright, the water was warm, and the boys were everywhere. It was the year she tested the boundaries of her upbringing and started to figure out who she really was. Or more importantly, what she wanted. On her journey of self-discovery, Maddie happens upon a group of teenage boys consisting of gorgeous surfers, academics, musicians, and a pair of emancipated twins.
      With the help of her daring best friend Hannah, she is able to taste freedom and follow her heart, making memories that last a lifetime in the arms one of the infamous identical twins, Trey Knox. However, the chemistry with Trey was mysteriously inconsistent, leaving Maddie wanting to explore other options.
In Part 2:(Chick-Lit), we follow Maddie into her adult life, where she encounters Trey and his brother Jaimie on separate occasions. Playing on the past, each twin attempts to lure Maddie into their bed. However, knowing their reputation for mysterious behavior, Maddie follows her intuition down an unexpected road of empowerment and bittersweet revelations.
Inside scoop- The twins flip-flop on most of the girls they date, and Maddie catches wind of it and moves on to the next guy. However, she will never forget that very first kiss. A kiss so good, not even the guy who kissed her, kissed that well. It was fate that pulled all of the elements together to accomplish the memory of the moment that lingered in her mind forever.
