The Resonant Earth Series
The Resonant Earth science fiction series is a genre-bending saga that blends psychological suspense, queer narrative, and speculative geopolitics in an alternate-history world where mental illness is criminalized and truth is elusive. At its heart is Victor Eastmore, a pansexual bioinformatics genius diagnosed with mirror resonance syndrome—a stigmatized condition that blurs the line between perception and madness. As Victor investigates his grandfather’s suspicious death, he’s drawn into a web of political intrigue, experimental medicine, and personal betrayals that span the fractured American Union. With richly layered worldbuilding, a diverse cast including Victor’s trans friend Elena, and themes of alienation, identity, and resistance, Resonant Earth is a dark, cerebral odyssey where dystopian futures and intimate struggles collide.

Editing and Publishing Services
I love helping authors realize the full potential of their manuscripts.
The ideal time to work with me is once you’ve completed a full draft of your novel and crafted it as best you can on your own. You might find yourself wondering how it stacks up against published books. Or you might suspect that what’s on the page isn’t quite the story you intended to tell. A developmental edit can help clarify your vision for the book and speed you on the path of revision.
