Daughter of Creation
High school senior Rayne Everson is the perfect daughter and student. With college just around the corner, the picture-perfect life she’s carefully built is finally within reach. As long as she keeps ignoring the eerie sixth sense that warns her when something’s about to go wrong, she can pretend everything is under control. She’s checked every box to secure the future she’s always wanted, until the day she realizes that future was never meant for her.
When Rayne’s strange feelings pull her into an impossible encounter, gone are the Texas sunsets and college dreams. In their place stands Korum Kingdom, a new world of magic, corruption, and chaos.
There, she learns she’s the only heir to a tyrannical king who tore her from her home to marry her off to a prince bent on destruction. Ordered to train for her role under the king’s most trusted man, the infuriatingly handsome Captain General Kade Vasher, Rayne becomes desperate to understand the life she was born into but never knew about.
Torn between duty and defiance, and caught between a dangerous attraction and the weight of a crown, Rayne begins to question everything she believed about love, strength, and destiny.

Daughter of Fire
When Rayne wakes up in the hands of rebel forces, she realizes her life is turned upside down all over again. Except this time, she’s carrying the weight of a crown, the death of her friend, and the sins of her father.
Desperate for justice, Rayne agrees to become the face of the rebellion and begins rebuilding herself alongside a group of people she doesn’t know, while carrying a grief she can’t contain. With the title of Korum’s princess and the spreading news of being a Daughter of Creation, Rayne must decide what she desires to represent in the face of a broken kingdom.
As she wages war against her father and those who stand beside him, Rayne discovers that the cost of righteousness is always paid in blood. Though every wound leaves a scar, she would happily bleed for her friends and her kingdom, and maybe even Kade Vasher.
But when the lines begin to blur between virtue and revenge, Rayne learns that grief and pain always have a purpose, and it’s up to her to choose how she wants to wield the weapon before her. With an army behind her and fire within her, will Rayne’s return to Korum bring chaos or glory?

Wake Up
Wake up is framed by the human experience in its relation to creation, purpose, and the institution of Christian religion in the West. These poems wrestle with how The Church was created to be the Bride of Christ, but instead has been left abused and broken by the people within it. How can we see humanity wrestle with hurt and suffering and still create a legalistic system that separates the “underserving” from the “holy”? These poems drive readers to get honest about the human condition in relation to creation, their ability to be loved, and to also love others well.
This collection of poems walks through the journey of understanding the God of the Bible, and not just the God that is presented by Western culture. The voice doesn’t just speak to my personal experience, but to a backdrop of big questions about deconstruction of faith, the human origins, the current standing of the American Church, and how healing the inner workings of the soul is crucial to existence.
