In the year 3201, Earth is a world unraveled—where magic has invaded technology
In the year 3201, Earth is a world unraveled—where magic has invaded technology, cities are broken, and survival is a daily gamble. In the ruins of Kago, Tali scavenges for artifacts—fragments of the old world that still hum with forgotten power. Each relic is a ticket to another day, but also a magnet for danger, as ruthless gangs and desperate survivors prowl the shadows.
When a chance encounter with a mysterious cat named Kixar reveals to Tali that she is more than just a survivor, she’s thrust into a quest that could change everything. Together with unlikely allies—a patched-together boy named Tobbie and the enigmatic Kixar—Tali must navigate a landscape where trust is rare, magic is wild, and every choice could mean life or death.
But as Tali discovers the secrets of the artifacts and the truth about her own power, she faces a question bigger than survival: Can she help heal a world that’s forgotten how to hope?
For Fans of Adventure & Found Family: If you love the grit and heart of The Hunger Games, the mystery of The Maze Runner, or the hope of The Last Cuentista, you’ll be swept into Tali’s journey—a blend of post-apocalyptic adventure, magical intrigue, and the bonds that make us stronger together.

Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
