"INTRIGUING.. WELL-WRITTEN." - Publishers Weekly

"A FANTASY TIME TUNNEL...." - Kirkus Reviews

Five special people are the anchor points to a path across parallel universes. There is Darius, of the sympathetic magic... Nona, the ninth child of a ninth child... Seqiro, the telepathic horse... Provos, who remembers only the future... and Colene, the girl from Earth who learned that all dreams are possible.

FRACTAL MODE

Held captive in Nona's home universe, Colene and her friends must help fulfill a dangerous prophecy - that one day women will take the power of magic away from the cruel men who control it. But first, Nona must cross the barrier to another universe... to that strange and unpredictable place called Earth.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
