So, I invite you to join Sofia and Lily, once again, as they rake through American icons and Founders' writings in search of veiled clues leading to a secret pact between George Washington and the Spanish King Charles III ... And believe it or not, it is connected to their Divine Lines in a stunning way." |

THE QUIXOTE PACT: DIVINE LINES SERIES, BOOK #2
"There was a secret Journal, which has never been published, and another more secret, the Secret of Secrets, which never will be published." —John Adams, 2 November 1815 Sofia Auru-Soto, a psychologist who has made a name for herself rationalizing the unexplained, is asked to attend an unrelated presentation by the elusive Spanish Professor Antonio del Mar. Little to nothing is known about Del Mar, yet he has managed to attract the pinnacle of Washington D.C.'s press corps, claiming to know of a secret pact between George Washington and the Spanish king, Charles III, which could upend what we know of the Revolutionary War and its aftermath. The morning takes a shocking turn when, during his speech, the professor narrowly escapes an attempt on his life and whispers three cryptic words to Sofia before disappearing. |
While baffled as to why he'd entrust the enigmatic clue to her and unsettled by its trailing dangers, Sofia can't pass on this exclusive opportunity to track down the obscure pact. So, joining forces, once again, with her sister Lily, a historian, and despite the acute feeling Del Mar has an agenda of his own, Sofia and Lily embark on another remarkable quest that will lead to an unexpected discovery.
The Quixote Pact is a multilayered story that weaves together true history, a riveting search for a buried secret, and a staggering revelation.

Combining real history with a touch of magic, this fascinating adventure follows a die-hard skeptic and a Catholic sister as they race to find a lost prophecy said to be harbinger of the End Times.
Twenty-five years ago, Sofia Auru-Soto survived a traumatic event that everyone around her celebrated as a divine miracle. Today, Sofia is a psychologist in stern denial of her past and just as sternly dedicated to disputing irrational phenomena. Her life will take an unexpected turn when her estranged twin Lily, a Catholic sister and historian, shows up without warning accompanied by an intriguing journalist, Michael Amir, asking for her help. She claims to have discovered a coded message in a papal homily, which reveals the existence of a surprising alignment of Marian shrines across Europe. Convinced it is a divine path leading to a hidden prophetic secret, Lily seeks Sofia’s analytical genius to help her construct the final segment. But they must hurry; dark forces trail Lily and have already attempted to thwart her progress. The request makes Sofia uncomfortable on so many levels, but suspicious of the obscure influence the charming Michael seems to have over Lily, she reluctantly agrees to collaborate. The next forty-eight hours unfold into a much-needed journey of bonding and growth for both sisters as they navigate through some of history’s most intriguing events, miracles and legends in search of the clues to complete Mary’s Path … And what they find at its end is nothing short of prodigious.

In Trapped in a Dream, Faith and Chris barely survive the cover-up of an illegal experiment that gave them telepathic abilities.
Now, in Essence, while on vacation in Barcelona, and as they come to terms with their new reality, Faith inadvertently connects with another experimental subject who she witnesses committing a murder. Horrified, all she can discern from it is that the subject is a woman, and it occurred in some kind of laboratory. Unable to go to the authorities, Faith and Chris team up with a local trusted, though unpredictable agent, Professor Xavier Vall, whose loyalties are not always clear but is uniquely qualified, for undisclosed reasons, to keep them safe. So, once again, Faith and Chris find themselves in the middle of an obscure conspiracy, this time in pursuit of a dangerous woman, unaware she dons extraordinary skills far more advanced than their own, and willing to stop at nothing to protect a secret. But then, the twists and turns will keep you guessing who the true heroes and villains are to the very end. Read a free sample here |
Faith and Chris have never met but have the unusual ability to meet in each other's dreams. It was fun growing up and quite enticing in their teens, but lately they struggle with it too uncomfortably aware it is far from normal.
One afternoon, Faith, a harmless schoolteacher dedicated to her community, is attacked and left bedridden in an odd state of sleep, while alert in her dreams. And, as fate would have it, Dr. Christian Luxford (Chris), a neurologist who specializes in sleeping disorders, is called in. Naturally perplexed, Chris recognizes Faith, and soon enough realizes that her condition is tied to their enigmatic connection, which, incidentally, has intensified since the assault. Faith can now telepathically communicate with Chris during his waking hours, her only link to the outside world. When a powerful philanthropist with a disturbing reputation suddenly offers to take charge of Faith's delicate care, Chris must race to unravel the secret behind their telepathy, while distraught by her rapidly declining state and slipping custody. Yet, as painful truths from the past come to light and the battle over her guardianship turns bloody, don't discount Faith. She may be trapped in her own body, but she is not as defenseless as one would reasonably think. Read a free sample here |
