once upon a time, i wanted to write a book. not just any book. but a novel with characters i had mental conversations with during my coffee and laundry nights on wednesdays and sundays.

so, i wrote the FOBOLOUS series.

i know you'll find yourself in my novels' characters because you're a traveler, too, and one of the billions of passengers set to navigate this strangely wonderful place called life.

bride-to-be janelle marquez leaves everything behind to fly nine thousand miles from home to surprise her fiance shortly before their wedding, only to end up the unwilling victim of her cute but foolish scheme.

struggling to find her way back home as she heals from her wounds, she stumbles upon love in an intriguing stranger with fascinating eyes from a snobby circle and a cold city she doesn’t fit in.

"I loved the images of my home city, the freshness and fun of the characters, the unexpected twists, the likability of the characters ... and I even learned to appreciate the villain. Thank you!"

janelle finds herself in new york, discovering new friends and meeting new family, unexpectedly thrown into the intricate past of her newly wedded husband, where she uncovers secrets surrounding a mysterious teenage girl he’s never revealed or talked about.

"I so loved this book! I started reading Fobolous on  a Friday, Jun 10th, and finished it the same day."

"Fobolous is MY story. Fobolous is OUR story ... I loved that the characters have strengths and weaknesses. I loved that there's humor, drama, and action. I loved that it's real and human and totally relatable."

"This book is the perfect antidote to a moody Monday. It's that great picker-upper you greedily devour while sipping your favorite coffee at your local Starbuck's. It's a modern tale of pain and forgiveness, of adventures unknown, and of love in the age of halo-halo and cherry blossoms."

"Amazing! Read the book in two days! I just couldn't put it down!"
