The Series

Novels in the contemporary series Half Lives are in various stages of planning, researching, writing, and editing.

Book 1: First Loves

The rebellious baby sister of a K-pop idol is attempting to avoid an arranged marriage. She’s caught between a passionate affair with a roguish Irish bartender and a proposal from a tepid Korean businessman. Who will she pick? Or is there a third option?

Book 2: Half Lives

At twenty-four, a Seoul socialite has a perfect life: beauty, wealth, fame, love. The one thing she doesn’t have is a purpose. At fifty, a lonely woman in rural Ireland finds her purpose has been snatched away. A series of coincidences expose hidden connections between them, including the man they both love. Who will win him? Who will win herself?

Book 3: Sibling Rivalry

A Hallyu star’s compulsory military service opened a window into another world, leading him to question his choices. His sister struggles with the stigma of being outspokenly single by choice. When the star suggests the solution is simple, the siblings’ relationship implodes. He meets an older woman at a poetry reading; with her by his side everything makes sense. There are only two problems: she doesn’t know he’s That Guy, and she’s his sister’s best friend.

Book 4: Distant Vision

The first novel of an Irish author is being made into a K-drama series. When the lead actor pulls out, the production is thrown into chaos. The new lead has a secret: he’s been in love with her for years. As her artistic vision collides with interpersonal and economic forces, the author learns the hard way that control is an illusion.
