About

I write edgy/contemporary novels, and am an author + artist + general non-conformist ;)

My first two books (EyeLeash: A Blog Novel, and 4:Play)are multiple-genre-crossing. I enjoy including psychological andemotional elements in my work, as I believe this adds a level of depthand authenticity to the story + characters.

+ Zodiac: Virgo sun, Pisces moon, Aries rising.

Description

<p>(Book 1)<br />Betrayed by the woman he loved and on the verge of destitution, artist Jonathan Martinez channels his anguish and rage into what will become his greatest masterpiece—Passion and Betrayal. The painting, critically acclaimed, ushers him into the world of fine art and allows him to realize his dreams. Stepping out of the shadows, he transforms into Phillipe, a wealthy artist and sought-after bachelor who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle—including his pick of any woman he desires.<br /><br />But when Phillipe least expects, the woman who almost destroyed him returns on the arm of his agent. Despite his anger, she awakens the part of his soul he entombed long ago. The part of him that can never forget her, no matter how deeply he buries himself in his art.<br /><br />With everything he's accomplished at stake, can Phillipe overpower the demons that haunt him and learn to love again? Or will his heart remain a shattered work of art that can never be restored?</p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

“EXCELLENT work on your final project - one of the best I’ve seen…you are an excellent writer and I’ve really enjoyed having you in class. Your final grade on the project is 400/400 = A.”<br /><em>— Advertising professor’s comments, May 2010</em><br /><br />“Had my first YA novel with an agent at Trident Media Group last fall. She sent it to Harper Collins, and Penguin. Positive feedback, but no one bought…when I contacted my agent a couple months ago, she said she’s no longer with the agency…I never heard back. Your brilliant paper is helping me jump over the mental hurdle that is traditional publishing.”<br /><em>— email from a reader/writer, July 2010</em><br /><br />“The exact same thing is happening with film. You’re on the right track!”<br /><em>—Su-An Ng, Designer / Animator / Filmmaker (won the 2nd Place Legacy Award at the 2010 Vancouver Women in Film Festival)</em>
