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. Grab your copy from the link in my profile—and if it speaks to you, don’t forget to leave a review. Your support means the world.
Description
<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </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.
