Synopsis: Forget whatever you think you know. History has been rewritten.
In a future world where rising ocean levels swallow coastal cities and people scramble for resources on an overpopulated earth, the survival of the human race depends on biogenetic research to develop aquatic capabilities. The year is 2098, and it has never been more dangerous for the elusive Sirens to be discovered.
Until now, the Sirens have remained eclipsed from the eyes of the human world, inhabiting an obscure, undiscovered island in the Indian Ocean. In a burgeoning discontent among the restless youth, the Sirens, led by a headstrong Mello Seaford, decide to test the waters of open society by striking a deal with the U.S. megacorporation, DiviniGen Inc. And they risk everything to do it.
Has Mello led his people astray, jeopardizing their cherished island by guiding them into the hands of human greed? Will the risk prove worth it, or will the Sirens be forced to face the darkness of eternal isolation?
One person may hold the key to success. From across the ocean, budding scientist Lorelei Phoenix embarks on a dangerous journey into a hidden world, one in which she finds herself connected by more than just the ancestry of her people. Is she alone capable of bridging a centuries long gap between species?
When two worlds collide, the rising tide of love and acceptance will lift all boats… or sink a ship of titanic proportion.
This darkly whimsical dystopian fantasy is told from three points of view; Lorel, the young scientist and heroine, Jake, her Navy SEAL boyfriend, and Mello, a male Siren. SIRENS is a duology geared toward a new adult audience. Each book is approximately 85,000 words. Inspirations were drawn from ABC’s series LOST, Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and the exciting gems of possibility hidden within the science of human evolution.

Excerpt
A low ringing disrupted the quiet subterranean lab seven floors beneath DiviniGen’s headquarters. Dr. Wong tore herself from the screen of DNA and walked around the desk to the black glass wall separating her office from the dark hallway. Her high heels clicked loudly on the white marble floor. She tapped the center of the wall with her index finger.
“Wong here,” she said as the floor to ceiling hologram image materialized before her.
“Working another late night, I see.”
“Mr. Galton. Yes, sir. Wednesday’s beaching has kept us quite busy.” She smoothed her white lab coat and smiled at the CEO. “How can I help you, sir?”
“Prepare the lab. We’ve identified a live specimen in the city.”
“Live?” Dr. Wong sucked in a breath, her eyes growing wide. “Is it her?”
“No, better. We just need to reel him in. It’s a wild one.”
