The Upper Echelon of the Vigilant Association

The Vigilant Association is a nation of structure, stability and rules—all things Olivia Kohl loved… before she lost it all.

Outed as an enemy spy, Olivia left everything behind, forced to create a new life for herself in the United Alliance. A restart. But the past still haunts her, so she shoves her feelings down, drowns the sorrows with work and feeds the emptiness with pastries.

If only the pain of loss was so easily remedied.

Years later, Eight—her ex-boyfriend—finds her. Their unresolved past threatens to destroy everyone's future, and he insists she return to clean up the mess. What more could she expect when it’s one of her dearest friends threatening the peace of the world?

With her business partner pushing her out the door, Olivia finds herself traveling across the land, straggler and assumed stalker in tow, to not only find and stop her old best friend but learn how to apologize to those she wronged—namely, her first love turned enemy. Unfortunately, Eight has no plans of making it easy for her, and she doesn't know whether she wants to kill him or kiss him.

 

The Rainbow Provenance of the Chorale Sea

Aushen and Emrys's time together in Origin has come to an end, but their story isn't over.

Having gotten the information and answers she required, Aushen heads back to the mainland to reunite with Rune and stop Eve and Nero's plans from coming to fruition. But she's as unlucky as ever, hitting some snags along the way. Pirates.

Rerouted through The Band with unlikely friends, Aushen is forced to face her dark truth throughout the journey. And what she uncovers about herself isn't pretty.

Leagues away, Emrys realizes life can't always be fun when he struggles to connect to Senna as much as he would like. Despite how hard he tries, his hopes are holding out for a girl long gone—a girl he can't have. Will he let that sabotage his chances with Senna? Will she?

 

The Fallen Ruins of the Vigilant Association

The Dark God has returned to the realm of light, and Primeria is not ready for her.

After a long journey that ended in failure, Olivia Kohl must make some tough choices for her future. Life in the United Alliance has been simple and safe, but the Vigilant Association has been calling. And the nation needs help now more than ever.

The world is changing. Nowhere is safe anymore. Night has descended on Primeria, and with it comes chaos and conflict—an omen of the Dark God’s resurgence.

Eight feels the pressure more than most. While he plans for an all-too-real war with the Polarity Syndicate, Eight struggles to help his cousin, Rosaria, through the grief that is weighing on her. Their bond knows no bounds, but he can only be her saving grace for so long, when both their nation and their guild are at risk of falling. With so much up in the air—Aushen and Emrys’s disappearance, the treachery of night, mysterious letters and their growing relationship—Eight and Olivia find themselves at the center of the conflict between not only the Trinity but the almighty too.

Hope is not lost, though. There is strength in numbers, and though the VA may not have all the allies it needs, it is those who hold the vision and dedication that matter—supporters blessed with unimaginable power. Some new and some old.

Full of love and determination, can Olivia and her friends come together to protect the Vigilant Association from all the looming threats? Or will they fall in the face of true evil?

As a die-hard fan of alpacas and lover of all things pink, I am ashamed that this website doesn’t contain either of those things…

Obsessed with Disney as a kid, I grew up with an innate love for storytelling. But it wasn’t until I was older, in my late teens, that I developed the love for reading, wishing to write a book someday.

Until then, I spent my time delving into the world of video games and nerdom. Fantasy became… true magic, and the stories I found in RPGs and anime became the inspiration for that book I wanted to write one day. For years after, ideas collected at the back of my mind and commandeered my dreams, waiting for that fateful day.

That day has come—and gone—and I can finally say that I have written that book. I accomplished that dream several times over by now.

My debut novel, The Upper Echelon of the Vigilant Association—a mouth full, I know—is something of an homage to my youth, combining many of the tropes I have come to know and love in the fantasy and RPG genres, as well as being inspired by some of the books I fell in love with when I found the joy of reading again.
