Brief Author Bio:

Jen is a former archaeologist and fiction writer who dabbles in comics and every hobby under the sun, loves cats, and does exactly nothing with the three honors degrees she earned at her 4 year university. She is a starving artist, a social revolutionary, and an undaunted idealist clinging desperately to the last lingering breath of Bohemia in modern urban America.

Synopsis: Genesis

Daniel Cross doesn't believe in anything.

Oh, there was a time maybe a decade back when he almost did, when he almost thought that maybe there was a God and maybe he might make it out of the tenements and into the real world. There was a time when he could put his fingers to the piano keys and take the moonlit sky and turn it into a sonata. There was a time where he had a little bit of hope. But life has a way of sucking that right out of a man, sometimes.

Now? Well you ever been to the Bronx on a late February night? Tell you what you'll find; nothing. Cold, rain if you're lucky, ice if you're not. Black, broken buildings like teeth in a ruined mouth, lifeless streets, overturned garbage pails, old cats crying at the moon. It's barren there. Daniel understands the feeling. Divorced early, alone, and stuck in a dead end job he is isolated and hollow, taking small pleasure only in whiskey and Nick At Nite reruns. But that is all about to change.

Late one night outside a run down bar, Daniel comes within inches of losing his life, and a mysterious woman in white comes to his rescue. From then on Daniel is seeing things, hearing the music he thought he'd lost, and suddenly walking down a strange and magical path he never thought existed. The woman in white haunts his dreams and he begins to see the world not for what is in front of his eyes, but what it really is. Realizing too late how deep his rabbit hole goes, Daniel must challenge his beliefs about God and himself, and with the help of a few unlikely friends he must learn to face his fear and inadequacies in a wild race to save the world as we know it.
