In Her Dreams
Book One
She’s been kissed one-hundred and forty-four times.
But only in her dreams.
Emily Chandler is a lonely teen by day, and an unwilling time traveler by night.
As she sleeps, she relives the memories of others, celebrating their happy moments and enduring their bad ones. Including, sometimes, their deaths. So when she begins visiting Victorian-era Lucy’s happy, mundane life, it’s a welcome change from the suffering. Especially whenever the swoon-worthy bachelor Andrew Harker is around.
Emily’s waking life becomes brighter too as she is pulled into a group project with the unforgettable Duncan, the ex-football star. It’s nice to have an easy-on-the-eyes distraction. Her world, for once, is all garden strolls and pep rallies–and kisses just for her… or are they for Lucy?
But when Emily changes someone’s memory, her own reality shifts. Things aren’t exactly good or bad, they’re just weird. Even worse, when Emily realizes Lucy’s life is in danger, she has to make a decision. Will she save Lucy, altering the past–and therefore, changing the future–or will she relive Lucy’s death and keep history the way it was meant to be?

Trapped In Her Dreams
Book Two
Emily’s time-travel dreams are far from over.
Dream-walking with Victorian era Lucy was quite the ride, but now Andrew has some grand master plan he couldn’t be more cryptic about.
While juggling school, her friends, and her former boyfriend – who is still pretty great – Emily tries to convince everyone that her dreams have stopped.
Even though they haven’t.
But when Emily begins dream-walking Isabella, a nineteenth century girl crossing the Atlantic, she gets so caught up in Isabella’s world and her other dreams, reality begins slipping away.
Can she bring herself back to her own waking world? Can she save herself and those she dream walks? Or will she be trapped in her dreams – living the memories of the past – forever?
Purpose In Her Dreams
Book Three
Emily Chandler dreams the memories of the past, but now the past is coming to her.
Andrew is suddenly decades ahead, looking similar to the way he did in Lucy’s time. He says he’s jumping time by dream walking forward to her. To Emily’s time. But even though that’s incredibly romantic, it’s impossible.
Meanwhile, Emily’s recent coma has her asking questions about what really happened when she couldn’t wake up, but she’s still riddled with guilt over getting Lucy sent to a sanitarium.
Can she save Lucy even though she doesn’t want to be saved? Will Andrew really jump forward to be with Emily? Or will everything fall apart when Emily asks too many questions, risking herself and the people she loves?
