Miranda, a young woman of privilege, abandons that life and discovers how abusive her repressive Alternate American government truly is. So she joins the rebels and learns to fight for freedom. But the government declares the rebels unbelievers and sends their Angels of Death to Take all unbelievers. Miranda is on their list.  

My Soul to Keep, Book One

Cover of My Soul to Keep has a dark blue background the image in the center is multi-layered with a royal blue shield atop which is a two-toned orange Washington Monument, atop which at the bottom is the silhouette of a woman walking toward the camera.


Miranda has three days until she must surrender control of her own life forever. 


In 1961 Fellowship America, obedience isn’t just expected—it’s enforced by law. Unable to bear the weight of that future, Miranda makes a desperate choice.

If I Should Die, Book Two

Cover of If I Should Die is a layered image with the silhouette of a girl carrying a gun walking toward the camera, behind her is a two-town purple silhouhette of the statue of liberty and behind that is a green Fellowship shield with wings on either side..

After escaping abuse and the life of a rebel soldier, Miranda navigates her yacht through the inland waterways, rescuing fugitives from tyranny.

She looks forward to a winter in warmer waters and a safer locale than 1964 Fellowship America. But her family isn’t done with her yet.

When I Wake, Book Three

Cover of And When I Wake is a brick red with a blue Fellowship Shield overlaid with a silver Capitol Building Cupola and a silhouette of a woman carrying a gun and running toward the camera

Don’t miss the epic conclusion of the Fellowship Dystopia series!

In a chilling alternate America, betrayals and injustices have forged Miranda into a relentless force for justice, but her ultimate test isn’t defeating tyranny—it’s the darkness growing within her own soul.
