A 2024 Realm Award-winning novella<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Cole Rainer just wants to get his missing father back and restore his broken family<\/strong>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

One year ago, Cole’s dad walked through the portal in his grandma’s basement and never came back. Despite the danger of leaving a passage to an unstable world open, Cole refuses to close the portal – instead standing guard in the basement, isolated from his family, desperately hoping somehow his father survived.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as the portal begins to crumble, it threatens to take their home with it. Before Cole closes the passage, he receives a mysterious SOS message from his father. Cole has one day to rescue him before the port decays and fractures their world beyond repair.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Cole’s world is already fractured, and his brother starts to fear that the voice may not be their missing father after all – but something else.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to find stories that acknowledge \u201cinvisible\u201d struggles in fantasy vs contemporary.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>
<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever felt that way? If you have, you’ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n

In my books, you can expect compelling fantasy that acknowledges invisible struggles like chronic illness, mental health and trauma<\/strong>, while retaining a core of hope<\/strong> and wonder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hello friend,<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Welcome.<\/span>\u00a0I’m Hope and I’m so glad you stopped by <\/span>(Really…let’s face it; the internet is vast – it’s own world almost – and of all the places you could’ve gone, you popped in here. :D)!<\/span><\/p>\n

When I’m not writing, I’m drawing too many of my characters, getting hooked on TV shows – from crime dramas to anime to K-dramas – or traveling whenever I can (London holds a special place in my heart). I’m also a mom to a ragdoll cat and a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the things I love are Jesus, deep conversations, being cozy and making authentic connections with people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you stick around and we get to connect or you move on, you are welcome in this space!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
