However, she has contracted a deadly illness and must be placed in cryogenics. Awakened hundreds of years in the future she is astounded that the world, although technologically advanced, is still underground. While in cryosleep was she really visited in a dream by an ancestral grandmother who lived in the 1800s?

If so, why?Agent Bren has been charged with the responsibility of keeping Dr. Morningstar safe from high ranking factions that want her terminated. Her breakthrough formula in soil regeneration could possibly solve the earth's terraforming problem, but also trigger a mass exodus to the surface--an exodus that equates to staggering losses of money and power for those governing the population.

"2020 Finalist - Readers' Favorite International Contest (Paranormal Romance) for SOMEWHERE by the Sea.""2014 Gold Medal Winner - Readers' Favorite International Contest (Historical Romance) for Abby: Mail Order Bride."My perfect day: coffee shop; laptop; latte; characters demanding their stories be told; a plot that comes together; and hours to live in an alternate reality.Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Mysteries. When I reached my teen years, the romance genre became my favorite and that has never changed. After years of procrastinating, I tried my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. I have written over thirty romance novels and novellas in the genres of contemporary, contemporary western, historical western, fantasy, and paranormal. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book. I have also written a Young Adult novella titled "Fragile Hearts" using the pen name of Colleen Clay. Journey into the Past with book one, the Present with book two, and the Future with book three.
