To My Readers:

Greetings and welcome to my new website!

These past several years have been filled with heartache and uncertainty, testing our spirit to survive. Just after moving to a different state with my husband, we suddenly found ourselves confined to our home in an unfamiliar community due to COVID. During this time, I naturally gravitated towards my creative spirit and turned to what I enjoy the most: writing.

In retrospect, I realize that I Touched the Moon: A Tale of Abduction and Redemption served as a personal metaphor, but more importantly, it told a story of the indomitable innate power we all possess even in the face of horrendous circumstances.

After its release, I was heartened by the reception from readers, as I connected with many of you at book clubs, events, and various gatherings.

I have just released the final installment of  Even Through the Fire trilogy. Deeper and Deeper, Book 2, and It Sometimes Rains in Paradise, Book 3 are provocative romance/suspense tales that delve into the age-old question: What does it mean to truly love your life partner? These novels are infused with intrigue and feature fascinating, diverse characters that support a powerful love story for our time.

I love hearing from readers about my work. Please continue to reach out and write reviews.

With warmth and gratitude,

Sila
