About my upcoming debut novella: The Goddess Beat
The Goddess Beat delves into the life of twenty-one year-old Lainey, who, against her wishes, returns home after running away. The hostile environment is far from ideal, but in this place, she manages to find the one thing she’s been searching for… True love. Not just the romantic kind, but rather, the full package. As she navigates her conflicted emotions and struggles along the road to self-acceptance, she finds her very soul connecting with an unexpected and mysterious entity. Shadows of the past want to swallow her happiness, but the love she finds transcends all of the pain. Together, with the strength of their unwavering support for one another, they embark on a journey of self-discovery while surrounded by prejudice.
Gripping and emotional, The Goddess Beat celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and love’s ability to conquer all, even in the face of adversity and reminds us that our true home is not a physical place, but instead, is something that lies within our hearts.
