It's really wild to think that what started in drafts as a fanfiction story for Choices "The Freshman" in 2018, evolved into a full, original novel.

THE SENATOR releases 4.15.25 by Rising Action Publishing and will be distributed by Simon & Schuster.

Thanks to everyone who supported a very rough, very unpolished story that gave me the determination to become an author--now releasing my second book. The characters are different, with original origin stories and plot points, so I hope you'll still love it.

My former user name in the Choices fandom was "drivenbyfantasy." I'm like 99.9999% sure that after I deactivated my blog it is now a porn blog (please don't look), but if you remember me and my work, please say hello!

At age 30, Maya Golden was living a charmed life. She was an award-winning sports reporter, and a loyal wife, and a new mom. Privately, she was battling addiction, perfectionism, dissociation disorders, and rage due to sexual abuse endured at the hands of her cousin and many other predators.

But Maya wants to change. So, on a family road trip back to her Texas hometown she is ready to put an end to the secrets that threaten her marriage and her career. Three separate moments of divine intervention ultimately saved Maya’s life.

From a suicide plan to the treatment facility to launching a non-profit organization—Maya’s story chronicles and dissects her journey to find purpose out of the trauma.

Releasing November 14, 2023 through Rising Action Publishing Collective.

I was contacted by a talented artist who had done some commissioned pieces for a friend. She took two of my headshots and made them into art pieces!
