“Nature has staked its claim in what humanity decided to erect, and then the subsequently abandon.” - Excerpt from In Stasis

Debut Novel: In Stasis
“In Stasis” is a lyrical, slow-burn survival novel that invites you to explore a duality of worlds and survival from the perspective of an average woman.
“Jessi is forced to choose to flee to the forest with her dog, Janus, after facing a betrayal and to avoid arrest from the newly established authoritarian regime. Deep amongst the trees she must learn what it means to survive—both in the wilderness and this new world.
Convinced she can live, unnoticed in the forest, Jessi must grasp to her humanity, uncover dimmed skills, and cling on to the hope there’s a way through this. Lurking beneath the surface is the nagging question: Is she truly alone in this vast expanse?
Each day a lucky gift, hiding away from the other shoe that threatens to drop, just beyond the horizon, as signs of the world she left behind begin to creep in. Survival demands everything. Without an option to opt out, every day living is an act of resistance.
Every choice demands her re-evaluation of what is necessary to endure in the face of erasure.“
