My Books

I first began working towards a book when I moved to Argentina in early 2004. And while I had a story in mind for the novel, it was the real-life events of that year that filled in many blanks for that storyline. I was sidetracked helping my friend Harriet write her memoir, I’d Do It Again, and then life got in the way and distracted me.  In 202o, I self-published An Unexpected Turn, which got good reviews.

Since then, in 2025, I rewrote both of those, completed A Changing Season, secured a publisher, and will begin to release the completed works in early 2026. Next year hope to complete The Last Woman & Me, The French Girl,  and am simultaneously working on a non-transgender sci-fi thriller, The Rapture: When Heaven Calls (who knows, perhaps I’ll inject a trans character into that one, too). 

— A Changing Season

is a psychological thriller of memory, estrangement, and the invisible threads that bind us.

Jay has lived with a silence between him and his father for ten years—a rift caused by a lie he never fully understood. When his father’s journals arrive unexpectedly, delivered by a cryptic stranger, Jay is compelled to use them to retrace his father’s steps and confront him. It leads him first to Buenos Aires, where a chance purchase of a random book opens a new mystery. The pages seem to reflect Jay’s story—and his father’s—echoing events that feel too personal to be fiction.

Obsessed with finding the elusive author, Jay follows a clue to Hollywood, where he stumbles into a dark world he never intended to or expected: the shadowed corridors of power, secrecy, and manipulation. The dangerous and strange underbelly of SMB&D forces him to navigate perilous detours. 

What he discovers there doesn’t resolve the mystery—it deepens it, pointing him toward San Francisco, where he meets Sienna, who joins him on his quest. Together, they chase fragments of a hidden history that Jay can’t reconcile until they anticipate the final piece unfolding in a quiet Nebraska neighborhood. Jay finally stands face to face with the truth—not just about his father, but about the nature of love, memory, and forgiveness.

A Changing Season is more than a mystery. It’s a poignant exploration of how the past reverberates through the present, and how sometimes the answers we seek are waiting not in the chaos, but in the quiet.

An Unexpected Turn

— begins with a young cross-dresser caught by his mom, her lie to her friends to save face, and the cascading series of events that with each new lie push the young boy deeper into living a girl’s life than anyone expected. Well, almost.

The Detour

A gripping thriller that explores identity, survival, and the fight for a nation’s future. Once a powerful CEO and former Special Ops commando, Jack Baron has lost everything. With no options left, he sets out on a grueling journey on foot from San Francisco to Los Angeles, his last few dollars slipping through his fingers. But when hunger forces him to stop in San Luis Obispo, he is left with only one choice: take the only available job—a domestic maid.

His employer’s sister, Jasmine, sees him as a blank canvas, a chance to mold him into someone new, someone entirely different, with radical changes, as he emerges as Daisy. But beyond the walls of the home, a covert battle is brewing—one led by her employer, Colonel Max Burke, a military advisor to the Pentagon entangled in a web of espionage, betrayal, and national stakes far greater than Jack could ever imagine.

The unsuspecting housekeeper is drawn into the unfolding conspiracy—a fight not only for identity but also for survival and the fate of an entire nation. Navigating a world of deception, shifting allegiances, and dangerous truths, Daisy must decide who she truly is and how far she will go when the future hangs in the balance.

What begins as a detour for survival becomes a battle for everything, and Daisy soon realizes that the most significant transformation isn’t the one she chose, but the one she never saw coming.

The Last Woman & Me  — is part autobiographical and part insights. I’m still working on it.

The French Girl

A short story of a young boy feminized by his strong-handed, socialite aunt and her secretary, in a tale of misdirection and manipulation.
