From the Author

In a world where distraction and escape are the means by which we connect to our lives, the same means that keep us enslaved to the pains of our pasts or the anxieties of our future, there is a door. Behind which, the emancipation of our real abilities have been locked. Abilities that defy our understanding of ourselves and our reality. But what if I told you that not only the door, but the key to it, are all within us, hidden from our visage by an entity using time to distract us from this truth? This is what my protagonist, Dr. Asante Argueta discovers as she realizes There's Only Right NowT.O.R.N. is a sci-fi political thriller told through a tale of self actualization, forgiveness, family bonds, and the strongest force in the universe, love. 
 
Readers of speculative fiction, as well as self-help enthusiasts, from ages 18-65 will love this narrative. Early readers have associated T.O.R.N. with books like the Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I believe the success of these similar titles speak to the desire for readers to dive into fiction that illustrate universal truths from which we all identify. T.O.R.N., however stands apart from these tales in that it dives into a recognizable world that we inhabit now. Exploring social, technological, and political paradigms that currently exist give the reader a real anchor to connect to the themes and relate them to their lives. I hope that you find meaning and connection to my story and the themes within the lines.
 

Review

"The book told a story that made you not want to put the book down and find out what will happen at the end. I was hoping for the heroes to win while reading T.O.R.N. and I was able to dive into different genres such as romance, spiritual, sci-fi and more. The book kept me on my toes the entire time and the chapters flowed in a way that I did not want to turn away from the book."- TheDiverseReader.com"A fantastic tale written with a storytelling technique reminiscent of Dan Brown and Toni Adeyemi, T.O.R.N. is the 'Matrix' taken to the next level, and the main character, Asante, is Neo 2.0" - Blackscifi.com
