You feel it too, don’t you?

That sense that the floor is falling out from under you?

The, “am I losing my mind, or is everything changing?” feeling?

You aren’t losing your mind. You are experiencing the dissolution of an old world and the painful, scary beginnings of something else—in short, a rite of passage. If you’ve been looking for a way to steady your footing and remember your own power in the middle of this chaos, then I’ve built a resource for you.

The Sovereignty Library is a curated list of dystopian novels that speak to the 3 mindset shifts that help—and might just be necessary—to get through a rite of passage. It’s a guide through the dissolution stage and the liminal stage to a point that by the time we’re in the reincorporation stage, we’re not just surviving but helping to create the new beginning.

Why I curated this library (and why I wrote the Epoch Rite of Passage trilogy)

Books are an escape. But some books offer more than just escape; they offer a worldview shift. The books in The Sovereignty Library (and The Epoch Rite of Passage) aren’t just about surviving. They speak to how sovereignty can emerge in impactful ways when things look the most bleak and survival and conformity are no longer enough.

I wanted to capture that precise moment when someone finally stops looking for permission, stops playing by the “official” rules, and realizes they have been free all along—and that they can act on that freedom even now.

The 9 books in the Sovereignty Library

The 9 books in The Sovereignty Library map that exact emotional trajectory. They each speak to a stage in a rite-of-passage transition—from the terrifying Separation of the old world, through the anxious uncertainty of the Liminal space, to the scary and satisfying moments of Reincorporation. It’s a resource you can use to both confirm that you are not alone in this historical moment and to help you navigate life going forward.

If you’re ready—or want to be ready—to stop asking permission, stop second-guessing yourself, and start building new, then…

A Map of the Journey to Human Sovereignty

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about the state of the world and the massive transition we all seem to be navigating. It’s what inspired my latest project, The Epoch Rite of Passage trilogy. If you’ve been feeling like the old world is dissolving, I wanted to share a resource I built to help map the path forward.

This year it became absolutely clear to me that we are living through a massive, collective Rite of Passage.

If you feel like the world you loved has vanished, leaving you to navigate a landscape that no longer makes sense—you are not alone. You are not crazy. You are simply in the middle of a transition. We all are. But…

Why is this happening?
How do we get through it?
How will it end?

I felt compelled to explore these questions, and the result is The Epoch Rite of Passage trilogy. (The first two books are available for preorder now, and I’m hard at work on the conclusion.) It seemed to me that people felt powerless in part because they couldn’t imagine change–both what it might look like when it was done or how to get there. So I put some characters into our world and propelled them toward a cliff to find out what will happen if we don’t change—and what’s possible if we do.

The characters aren’t just trying to survive a financial and societal collapse. That’s the first step, sure, but not the only one. The next steps are even harder: How do they reclaim their sovereignty in a world that has convinced them they don’t have any? And then how do they maintain their sovereignty and their humanity when its time to rebuild and the old “poisoned bricks” of control are the only tools they’ve ever known?

When I first started writing the trilogy, I broke this journey down into three stages—the stages of a rite of passage—to help me guide the characters:

  • Stage 1: Separation — The terrifying moment of realizing the system isn’t “broken”—it’s functioning exactly as it was designed, and to survive it you have to detach.
  • Stage 2: Liminality — The space between worlds, where you are free from the old system consciously but your body still has to live with in it and your subconscious is still reacting to its fearmongering and its “official” truths.
  • Stage 3: Incorporation — The act of co-creating a new order based on love, freedom, and individual sovereignty, rather than by fear, violence, and control.

I came at the story organically, but on a foundation of lots and lots of reading. I curated a PDF list of 9 books that speak to these three stages of a rite of passage into a resource I’m calling The Sovereignty Library.

This isn’t just a reading list. It’s a roadmap for anyone who is done waiting for the old world to fix itself and is ready—or wants to be ready—to start building something else entirely.

Whoa… déjà vu… They say the universe behaves differently when someone is looking. (It’s finally out!)

Is it just me, or did I already post this? Something feels… off today. GLITCHING THE MATRIX is out now.

It started with an odd happening in the bathroom…

Have you ever experienced something unexplainable, something so off you didn’t think anyone would believe you?

Most people continue about their business. Karen doesn’t.

I am so thrilled to announce that my latest release, GLITCHING THE MATRIX is officially out in the world today!

What is it about?

A suburban soccer mom who experiences a series of small, unexplainable events some call glitches in the matrix.

Most people just brush these things off. Karen sets out to make reality glitch on purpose. She decides to stop just looking and start poking.

But when you try to make reality glitch on purpose, you have to be prepared for what looks back.

Why I wrote this

I take inspiration from the world’s unexplained but still undeniable phenomena. I’ve experienced a fair share of glitches and synchronicities and have always been fascinated by why they happen and what they mean. This book is for anyone who has ever felt that the world is a little bit stranger than it seems–and that there’s a reason for that.

GLITCHING THE MATRIX is a mind-bending thriller of metaphysical and supernatural suspense about questioning reality and seizing control.

Are you ready?
