Rhythms & Muse: Nothing you can touch can show you what is really there.

Alexandra Lauren experiences a horrific car accident many times in her dream. When she witnesses it in real life, it spurs the award-winning singer to reevaluate her glamorous Hollywood lifestyle. With her lofty musical goal now tarnished by reality, and haunted by her unfulfilled memories from her senior year in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Alex takes a bold step to change the rhythms of her life.
Leveraging her newly acknowledged intuitions, she makes a plan to reconnect not only with her musical touchstone and high-school sweetheart Matthew Roberts, but with her desire to impact lives for the good through the innocence and beauty of music.
Even though Matt holds Alex in his heart as his only muse, he resolves to ignore her existence. He cannot stay in control with her powerful presence in his life. Besides, how can he ever forgive her? In alliance with their charismatic friend Daniel, her betrayal demolished Matt's joy in creating their hit single... not to mention their future lives, together.
Can anything in this world shift Matt's resolve to distance himself from Alex? And, with Daniel still pursuing Alex even as his wife Kathy looks on, can Alex actually find fulfillment? Will music draw the estranged soul mates together again and guide them to realize their dreams?

She started her own award-winning home-based marketing firm, vIDEAn Unlimited, LLC, in 1996.
