About

Hey there! originally from California, San Diego, now living in Thailand, and finally living out my dream as a writer. It still feels surreal to say that. I truly hope my stories pull you in and leave a mark on your heart. To be honest, there was a time I didn’t think I’d write again. Life got heavy, and the creative spark dimmed for a while. But stepping away from the chaos gave me space to breathe—and from that came a story I’m incredibly proud of. The Five Families: Solano Series is full of heart, grit, and emotion, and I can’t wait for you to dive in.

Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

The Five Families: Solano Series is a layered tale of power, blood ties, betrayal, and legacy. At its core, the series follows the Solano family, a powerful empire born from the fusion of Italian and African American heritage. They operate with influence in both legitimate businesses and the criminal underworld, commanding respect and fear on all fronts. Their strength lies in loyalty—but that loyalty is constantly tested. Behind the scenes, however, jealousy brews, secrets unravel, and enemies—both inside and outside the family—begin to circle. The series dives deep into themes of: Family loyalty vs. self-preservation Forbidden love that defies family codes Power struggles that pit blood against blood Romantic entanglements that threaten legacies Betrayals with deadly consequences As each book unfolds, readers are pulled deeper into the dangerous web of the Solanos and the four other families whose lives, fates, and secrets intertwine in dramatic—and sometimes fatal—ways. It's not just about crime. It's about legacy, identity, and how far you’ll go to protect what’s yours.
