A Word From The Author

I’ve always been fascinated by the “what if” moments that spark the best stories. What if there was a perfect coastal community in San Diego County—one with deep water harbors for cruise ships, a train line connecting to the Inland Empire, and an offshore island complete with its own airport? What if military leaders, tribal nations, and city planners collaborated to create something extraordinary—a destination featuring luxury hotels, world-class gaming, and adventures that draw visitors from around the globe?
The problem was, this dream place didn’t exist.
So I created it . . .

New! Wheels Down . . .

The GPS tracker was supposed to find lost skateboards. Now it’s the only thing standing between seventeen people and a fate worse than death.
Sofia Martinez thought her biggest problem was perfecting electric skateboard technology for the summer festival. Then Wave Johnson vanished from a San Diego restaurant in broad daylight, and everything changed.
The security footage tells a story no one wants to believe: Wave wasn’t taken randomly. His appearance made him valuable to people who traffic in something far more precious than money—they steal identities, cultures, and hope itself.
But they made one crucial mistake.
Hidden in Wave’s pocket is a piece of technology so small, so seemingly insignificant, that his captors never thought to look for it. Now that tiny device is leading Sofia and the Emma DuBois-London Detective Agency into the dark heart of San Diego’s underground, where a sophisticated network has been operating right beneath everyone’s feet.
What they discover in those tunnels will change everything they thought they knew about courage, friendship, and the price of freedom.
With time running out and federal backup too far away, Sofia must decide: Is she willing to risk everything—including the lives of her closest friends—to save someone who might already be lost?
What would you sacrifice to bring a friend home?.
