Hello Everyone!
I'm thrilled to share some exciting updates about my upcoming novel, "A Slice of Life" (working title). Writing this novel has been an incredible journey, and I can't wait to take you along with me. Here is a synopsis along with photos of three of the main characters.
Set in 1972 New York City, the story follows Marie, a young woman exploring her identity and past through mystical experiences and complex relationships. Raised by her Aunt Angela, who introduced her to the unseen world via a magical mirror, Marie struggles to reconcile her metaphysical heritage with her desire for a traditional life. Her journey involves navigating two romantic relationships and uncovering family secrets tied to The Five Pointed Star Club, an immigrant community organization.
Thank you to all of you who have read my trilogy, and I hope you will read my fourth book when it is published. I appreciate each and everyone of you.
