Modern Magic: Book One

Modern Magic is a series of modern-day retellings of classic fairy tales. The first is Fashionista

For four generations, the House of Zangari has been a purveyor of luxury leather goods—shoes and purses and belts and boots. If her father had made a will, Allegra Zangari would have inherited the company and continued the family tradition. But Enzo Zangari had died intestate and her evil stepmother inherited the business and seems determined to run it into the ground.

Hugo Prince is the heir apparent of Prince’s, a global empire of upscale department stores based in Chicago. Hugo used to date Allegra’s stepsister Julia, a gold-digger of an upwardly mobile socialite. He was just a trophy for her, and their relationship soon fell apart. But not before he met Allegra.

Now, in the week after Christmas, Allegra and Hugo are about to meet again. With a little help from her ghostly great- grandmother, and the support of her friends, Allegra will save her family’s company and find her happy ending.

Set in Chicago, Fashioista is a sweet, clean, modern-day re-imagining of Cinderella set against the world of shoe design and high-end department stores.

The Modern Magic series will continue with Hunter's Kiss (Snow White), Hero's Kiss (Beauty and the Beast), and Rapunzel.

Note: The shoes and accessories described in this book are manufactured out of leather, including ostrich, crocodile, and pigskin. This reflects the current realities of the marketplace and not the author's own wardrobe.

Intrepid

The realms of Evren are in the midst of revolution— the newly established constitutional monarchy is democratizing the government, and science and industry are accelerating at the fastest rate in history. The world is changing, but for three women, change is a four letter word.

Arlenis, an Abyssal, cursed and banished to live among the mortals she refused to kill.

Nathania, a prophet, trying to find purpose after the Paragons abandon the world.

Verity, a blend, child of the Imperator and a fallen Paragon, who the Soraline, the Sisters of Fate, have just sent a sentinel— an honor normally reserved for deities.

But, when Valen, Paragon of Order, decides to reassert his control over the world, each begins to find meaning for the changes in their lives.

Three different times. Three different destinies. Three lives, entangled, that will change the course of Evren forever after the Day the Infinite Fell.

Aspirations & Inspirations

Inspiration comes to me in many forms. I tend to be drawn to the darker side of fiction, whether I'm looking at movies, story ideas, or books. These poems have been inspired by life, by film and anything in between. I can't always explain where they come from. I just write them.

Cold Lungs

Rowan and Levi are two nineteen-year old’s living separate lives. They’ve grown up in New York City and at a young age experience the onset of depression that leads them through the rest of their lives. Rowan grows up, clinging onto other children, growing an obsession with other people, to where he always wanted to touch them and be around them. As time went on, it became worse and he ended up getting in trouble and was left feeling like he did not belong and only had an increased sexual urge for other people. Meanwhile, Levi grew up with a relatively happy childhood, but following the death of his mom he spiraled down into a deep depression, unable to face the reality that he lost the person he loved the most. Because his sister was like his mother, he found himself falling for his own sister because she was like her.
