THE STORY
AWAKENING - Book One
What if YOU woke up living in someone else’s body? Alone and Afraid.
The night of Treaz’s 32nd birthday ended in a lonely, drunken stupor, and an unnerving mysterious man staring into her bedroom window.
When Treaz awakes, the mirror is wrong. A stranger stares back and mimics her every movement. That is not her body. Those are not her eyes welling with tears. How did she get there?
A thousand miles from her home, she is admitted to a chilling psychiatric hospital, like the one her mother had been committed to. Treaz is suddenly discharged and forced into a new job with an employer who inexplicably believes her story.
Each night she falls asleep wondering about tomorrow. Will she be transitioned? Whose life will she be experiencing next? Treaz must do her new employer's bidding—for now—unless she can find a way out of this frightening nightmare.
Omani involuntarily works long hours for her oppressive uncle while remaining hostage on his remote Swiss compound. She is forbidden contact with the outside world. He claims to be fighting terrorism, but she is not convinced.
Desperate and isolated, she risks deadly retaliation and finds a way to make a sole online friend, but his assertions are almost too much to believe. Should she trust him?
REBELLION - Book Two
Could your influencing skills save your life?
In the second book in the Awake As A Stranger trilogy, Treaz is forced to continue surviving and working from within the bodies of complete strangers—many of them with existences she never could have imagined living.
She gains an improbable ally with which to rebel against the agonizing rules of her elusive employer. Despite unexplained moments of sympathy from her boss, punishment for Treaz’s rebellious acts is harsh.
Grief, pain and humiliation threaten to consume Treaz if she cannot find a way back to her own life.
After establishing a secret online friendship, Omani’s desire to flee from her meager existence on the compound becomes obsessive; her stark fear of her uncle’s retaliation is undeniable.
Perhaps suicide is the better option. Nobody cares about her anyway.
Or do they?
ALTERCATION - Book Three
How far would you go to escape from a life-threatening oppressor?
In the thrilling and riveting conclusion of the Awake As A Stranger trilogy, Treaz must face her fear and outsmart the powerful criminals holding countless people hostage.
But, as the shocking secrets unfold, trusted and cared for people are disappearing—being eliminated permanently from the equation.
Treaz and Omani overtly connect, binding their perseverance, actions and desires together. The path is fraught with danger and impossible roadblocks as the mounting resistance rises.
The women’s skills of influence are wholly tested. Treaz is faced with making the greatest sacrifice possible—losing her own life. Omani’s choice? Live defeated and shamed or risk an excruciating death. How will their stories end?

READ CHAPTER 1
Treaz stood before the bathroom mirror gawking at her naked body. It was not because she was vain or had poor body image but because the person reflecting back was not her. It was the body of a stranger.
She cupped her cheeks, unable to look away. Who was this woman? Brushing back straight, fine, red hair revealed deep green eyes and pale skin packed with freckles. The woman stood tall, and was a most unhealthy skinny. Where had the real Treaz gone?
“What’s going on?” She said aloud, surprised at her high pitched voice.
Treaz reached out to touch the glass to ensure it was an actual reflection. Her fingers glided against the cool, smooth surface. Had she actually woken up? She did feel exceptionally groggy, like a fog surrounded her. Her vision blurry.
A few moments ago, as she forced her heavy eyelids open, she felt different. Something seemed way off, yet she couldn’t place it. A shiver enveloped her unclothed body because she never slept without pajamas, and she had awoken without a stitch on.
She blinked and blinked again trying to make sense of what she saw—a woman at least ten years younger. Had she somehow traveled back in time? No. It must be some weird, lucid dream giving every indication it was real. This was bizarre. Treaz splashed her face with cold water and swallowed sips from the faucet.
