My Books
A woman awakening in DreamVille and a man unraveling in the real world are drawn together by a supernatural thread that threatens to collapse both realms unless they face the truth of who and what they are.
The Story Begins
Blurb
Lanae’s life begins to fracture the moment the memory lapses start. She sees bits and pieces of visions that feel more like an out‑of‑body experience than flashes of lost time. Her dreams pull her toward a place she’s never seen but somehow remembers. DreamVille is beautiful, unsettling, and intimate in ways she can’t explain. It knows her. And it’s changing her.
Across the divide, Erik is unraveling. His reality is slipping, his past is resurfacing, and every step forward feels like a step toward something he thought he’d buried. Their lives move in parallel. One awakening. One collapsing. Both connected by a thread that grows stronger each time DreamVille shifts.
As DreamVille tightens around them and their worlds begin to mirror each other, Lanae and Erik are forced to confront the truth, who they are, what binds them, and what the realm wants. Because if they don’t, the thread between them may snap… and take both worlds with it.


The DreamVille Project
Lanae has spent most of her life navigating the space between what she feels and what she cannot explain. When strange occurrences begin happening at the strangest times, she starts questioning her sanity and her reality. She’s drawn toward a place called DreamVille, a world she’s only ever seen in her dreams, one that seems to know her intimately as it bleeds into her waking life.
As she slips deeper into its ever‑changing landscapes, she uncovers a realm she’s never seen before. How could she? She doesn’t belong here. Or does she? Perhaps she can’t remember that this is her true origin. The rules in DreamVille are not written in stone, and every answer shifts as quickly as the sigils in the Hall of Echoes deep within the realm.
