Jim is a homeless addict. His drug of choice is healing people. But a gift bestowed can have a mind of its own. For some, he may only see colors, but when the disease manifests itself as an entity, then he’s compelled to action.
Each time his compulsion to heal overtakes him, it drives him further into a spotlight he wants to avoid. The Reverend Baxter, by mistake, believes he’s healed a dying boy at the shelter, and it pulls Jim in deeper.
Jim’s brilliant idea to be the reverend’s assistant, will give him access to all the desperate people seeking miracles. Fame and power may consume everything.

DREAM ACROSS THIS MORTAL COIL
Completed Final Draft from Beta Readers. Prepping for second wave of queries
Fifteen-year-old Lucinda is always awake. Her nightmares have become so real, they blur the line between sleeping and waking. That’s how David, the boyfriend from her dreams, explains it.
Luce wants to keep her sophomore year normal by finding a real boyfriend, enjoying homecoming, and accepting the lead for the school play. But her dream reality has other ideas and crosses over into this one, creating havoc for her social life.
In her dreams, David introduces Luce to the Collective, who believe they can teach her to control these nightmares. Her homegrown abilities, mixed with her lack of training, make her the equivalent of a toddler playing with loaded gun. She’s firing in all directions, and anyone in any of her realities can get hurt.
She is torn between two worlds: maintaining the simple life of a high school student versus the complex freedom of her dreams. While her powers make a quantum leap, warring factions in her dream world compete for her allegiance. She’s a weapon, but for which side?
DREAM ACROSS THIS MORTAL COIL is a YA metaphysical novel, complete at 80,000 words.
