Dyami and the Gobi Crystal
A Narnia-like world with a power hungry queen and king
Dyami is a junior angel, assigned to a planet as watcher where magical beings teach the gentle Dukán fantastic abilities. Like a reporter, she must document events onto her gobi crystal to save them for eternity. She wants to be the perfect watcher, which means not interfering in mortal lives. Her specialty is time travel, which is as easy as breathing.
Her mentor is a shape-shifting dragon. In her travels, she angers a grumpy sorcerer and makes friends with a quirky fairy.
She falls in love with the Dukán who can dance mid-air or grow ripe strawberries in seconds. However, their perfect lives are boring as every day is the same. A visiting king and queen promise them excitement and change if together they build a new domain. As Dyami feared, the royals soon make the Dukán slaves.
Dyami's heart breaks seeing her new friends suffer, while foreign
emotions like fear and anger overwhelm her. If she interferes, she
risks being punished and banished from the angelic realm.
This fast-paced adventure uses allegory and fantasy to discuss duality, the Tree of Life, and viewing outside time. It's perfect for those who enjoyed classics like The Chronicles of Narnia or A Wrinkle in Time.
Available in eBook and paperback.

The Ideal Reader
Kabbalah Initiates
This fast-paced adventure uses allegory and fantasy to discuss Kabbalah themes of duality, truth, and oppression. It is the first book in a series exploring the Tree of Life.
Dyami journeys from the angelic realm of Yetzirah to the earthly sephirot of Malcuth, known as the gate of tears, truth, and justice. After multiple challenges and discoveries, she returns home.
Dyami and the Gobi Crystal is as a single drop of honey compared to the entire Kabbalah banquet. Hopefully, it wets the reader's pallet to digest more of the ancient, mystical wisdom.
Fantasy Followers
This novel was designed for eleven+ year-old readers and their parents who love fantasy.
People die, but there is no explicit, bloody gore. In the most intense scene, Dyami feels shame for what almost happens to her, even though she wasn't to blame.
Dyami travels off-world and time travels to understand the Naga.
This is a story of friendship and finding one's truth and voice in a chaotic world. It is a story of hope, even in the darkest hour.
It's perfect for those who enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia, Keeper of the Lost Cities, or A Wrinkle in Time.
Galactic Truth Seekers
Stories help us make sense of extraterrestrial races until we have irrefutable evidence. Dyami collects galactic or Akashic records onto a recording device resembling the Lemurian record keeper quartz.
The Dukán surround themselves with music, laughter, and sharing. The Naga are a self-serving, militant reptilian race who become stranded on the planet. They feast on fear of those they terrorize. Dyami meets advanced beings in other realms and time to learn deeper truths about the Naga and their motives.
The novel was inspired by the concept "Givers and Takers" in the internationally acclaimed book Ishmael by Anthony Quinn.
