A chilling story in the best tradition of SF. A must read!
Winifred Morris—Author of Bombed


This book caused my spine to tingle with the very first sentence and the intensity of the storyline kept it tingling through to the very last page! Some of the characters will enrage you, while others will tug at your heartstrings; all of them will evoke emotions that will leave imprints in your mind long after you put down the book.

A great book. Strong and magnetic moments. Attraction and the circumstances which keep them apart are excellently portrayed.

Love it. The right mix of humor, danger and whimsy
Patricia Hamill, author of The Shadows of Valor Series


This was definitely one of the most creative children’s stories I’ve ever read, and a far more clever approach to explain the existence of Santa than the usual North Pole story!
Kirsten Jany, author of Enter to Win


A mash-up of a Christmas tale about a dysfunctional family coming together with science fiction with a darker edge. I liked the period and the setting of the book as well as the retro feel of the situations and the conflicts. The pace of the novel was brisk with events moving forward smoothly and the reader constantly engaged with new developments.
Vardan Partamyan, author of I, the Provocetuer


A welcome breath of fresh air… told in a lively style. This book shines with freshness and I feel is a delightful addition to the canon of Christmas stories.
Marc Secchia, author of The Pygmy Dragon and the Shapeshifter Dragons series


A fun adventure for young readers… Even as an adult, I found this story enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Gabriella and Dr. Duggan's

Secret Dimensional Transport Machine


Gabriella, a teenage girl, tries to discover herself in a futuristic world of genetic modification, extreme sports and new science. Oh, and there just happens to be a dimensional portal too.

This science fiction tale sizzled and sparkled with energy, ingenuity, imagination, and a wonderfully heightened sense of adventure! --B White, Amazon

Called "Compelling," "so good!" and a "Great story that draws you in." Reviewers are saying, "I was completely hooked."

Gabriella, a teenage girl who recently lost her genetics researcher father in suspicious circumstances, discovers that she is a surprisingly good athlete and the only “non-modified” able to compete with genetically modified super-athletes. Did she become this way because of a genetic modification experiment her father conducted? Who killed her father and why? Are they after her? (Hint: They are.)

Due to her notoriety, a scientist presents her the opportunity to be the spokesperson for his new invention, the Dimensional Transport Machine. With NuGen on her heels and her father's ominous warnings, Gabriella is on a quest to find out her true identity and solve the mystery of her dad's murder. Using the machine unleashes a bizarre and entertaining series of events that helps Gabriella discover who she is and who she wants to be.


This book is a real page turner that kept me up several nights in a row! A cleverly crafted story that raises strong ethical questions, it is a welcome break from the usual high school dramas with their cliché characters. I rate it a fully deserved 5 stars!
Kirsten Jany, author of Enter to Win


Good, solid, clean sci-fi for YA and above, which does not pull punches when it comes to the big questions.
