What begins as a special trip for eleven-year-old SOPHIA FREEMAN and her billionaire father, leaves her trapped on a mysterious island with a tree boy and other fantastical creatures. The moment Sophia thinks her situation can’t get any crazier, she is shocked to learn the island is under a deadly eternal curse. All living things are rapidly decaying and soon nothing and no one—including herself—will be left alive. From competing in a three-round yearly held competition to reviving a long-lost magical spell, Sophia and her new companions must gather every ounce of courage, wit, and skill as they are stepping closer to breaking the 150-year-old curse. But will they make it in time while surrounded by enemies and traitors aiming to stop them at any cost?

Top 5 Favorite Movies
1. Laputa – Castle in the Sky
This classic was my first animation movie by the writer/director, Hayao Miyazaki. The storyline followed me for years. One of the greatest inspirations for all my books!
2. Avatar
This was the only movie that I had to go to the theatre to see multiple times—it blew me away!
3. National Treasure Series
I love treasure hunting stories and this one gave me A LOT of great ideas to start my next series!
4. Jurassic Park Series
I love animals, especial dinosaurs. Great resources for most of my creature designs
5. Princess Mononoke
Another great one by Hayao Miyazaki. My first humanity vs nature theme movie and I was speechless.
To be honest, it was really hard to just pick 5 movies. But in the end, the ones encouraging growth, perseverance, dreams, creativity, and doing what’s good for nature speak the loudest to me. I believe it’s very important for kids to be aware and learn that from a young age, and that’s what my books are all about!
Meet the Characters
Sophia inched forward, then hesitated. Speaking with a tree as still overwhelming. Entering the forest had to be the worst decision Sophia ever made. Finally, she placed her right hand onto the guardian. A burst of energy scattered throughout her body bringing waves of the tree’s memories. She was frozen in shock as the tree revealed the deep suffering of the earth she thought she knew.
~SOPIA FREEMAN AND THE MYSTERIOUS FOUNTAIN, Book 1
Tim told the guard our team name and its crystal staffglowed for a second. Then one by one, the contestants climbed aboard their rides.
“Sorry, sorry. These seats are reserved,” said Wondnair, weaving his way to the humans. Sophia and Tim hopped on and they set off into the clear sky.
~SOPHIA FREEMAN AND THE GATE OF JADE, Book 2
Another flaming whip slashed between Sophia and Tim, and they swiftly dodged it. Who could possibly be using Dark Art spells? They looked over and saw Allen’s smoking wand in one hand and Sophia’s scroll in the other.
~SOPHIA FREEMAN AND THE ERA OF DARKNESS, Book 3
