Thank you to Diane Holmes for being a super fan. The lovely support means to so much and I love hearing the connections you’ve made to my books. Also, another thank you to Alicia, Wendy, Maria, Sarah, Elizabeth, and a whole lot of other fans who make my job fun.
Thank you to ARC readers: Nicole, Nicole, Anna, Susie, Tiffany, Marie, Kariny, Christine, Chelsea, Lesley and Katy. Your early reviews really help. Not only that but I love having you all to share with.
Thank you to Dominic and Maja for running the fan group on Goodreads. A huge thank you for the fan art and the quizzes. They really mean so much to me and I love having a place to interact with readers. Thank you to everyone in the group. You all are the coolest. No seriously, like way cooler than other people not in the fan group. Hint hint to “other people.”
Thank you to Band of Dystopian Authors and Fans on Facebook for all the continuous support. I love you all and really love sharing my books and reading yours. Best Facebook group ever. Thank you to Katy for running the launch parties. I really look forward to those with each book and you do such a fantastic job! Thank you!
Thank you to the musical artist who inspired the sound track for this book. The first thank you goes to a band whose music I listened to a great deal while writing this book: Above and Beyond. Thank you to The Neighbourhood and Radiohead for offering the angst I needed. Thank you to Kari Kimmel, James Blunt and Snow Patrol for offering the love inspirations. And thank you to Stateless, Poe, and The Head and The Heart for helping me keep the tone riddled with a poetic darkness.
Thank you to my family and friends. You all continue to amaze me with your love and support. I’m not sure where I’d be without your encouragement.
Thank you to Luke, my husband, for believing in me. You’re actually the first person to know when my ranking changes on Amazon, because you’re watching it. I can’t imagine a more supportive husband. And after reading this book and realizing that for me channeling a perverted middle-aged man was actually super easy, you weren’t grossed out. Thank you for your love.
Thank you to my daughter. You keep me laughing and inspired with your wit and your imagination. The other day you said to me, “Ren is real, right, Mommy?” I didn’t know what else to say but, “I sure hope so.” You continue to amaze me with your passion for life and that infects me with new stories. Thank you, my muse.
Thank you to everyone reading my books!
Love,
Sarah

A Dream Traveler Series: The Lucidites Series
Awoken, #1:
Around the world humans are hallucinating after sleepless nights.
In a sterile, underground institute the forecasters keep reporting the same events.
And in the backwoods of Texas, a sixteen-year-old girl is about to be caught up in a fierce, ethereal battle.
Meet Roya Stark.
She drowns every night in her dreams, spends her hours reading classic literature to avoid her family’s ridicule, and is prone to premonitions—which are becoming more frequent.
Now her dreams are filled with strangers offering to reveal what she has always wanted to know: Who is she? That’s the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. But will Roya live to regret learning the truth?

A Dream Travelers Series: The Reverians
Defects, #1:
The longer we confine ourselves to a place the more it imprisons us.
All is not what it appears in the seemingly perfect community of Austin Valley.
A long-kept lie begins to unravel as an unsuspecting teenager named Em Fuller begins to learn the sinister truth of what lies beneath her town's perfect façade.
Em is a Defect--one of the unfortunate Dream Travelers not gifted with a psychic power.
Desperate to do whatever it takes to earn her gift, she endures painful daily injections along with commands from her overbearing, loveless father. One of the few bright spots in her life is the return of a friend she had thought dead—but with his return comes the knowledge of a shocking, unforgivable truth.
The society Em thought was protecting her has actually been betraying her, but she has no idea how to break away from its authority without hurting everyone she loves.

A Dream Travelers Series: Vagabond Circus
Suspended, #1:
A Man On A Mission
Dr. David Raydon, the Ringmaster, gave up his psychology practice to create Vagabond Circus. He searches for precious Dream Traveler children in orphanages and on the streets, where some live unwanted and forgotten. Vagabond Circus exists to provide the lost and lonely Dream Travelers a place to be illustrious, but it also shows the nonbelievers that there is still magic in the world. If they believe, then they care, and if they care, then they don’t destroy.
˃˃˃ Action, Depth And Plot Twists
When a stranger joins the cast of Vagabond Circus, mysterious events start happening. The once orderly grounds of the circus become riddled with hidden threats. The Ringmaster realizes that not only are his circus and its magic at risk, but also his very life.
˃˃˃ Colorful, exciting, with a dash of the promised romance, Suspended will leave you hanging in the end, anxious to read Paralyzed, book two in the series.

A Dream Traveler Series: Ren
Ren: The Man Behind the Monster, #1:
He is the most powerful man to ever live, and therefore doomed to misery.
Ren Lewis was born with the power to control minds, hypnotize others, and read thoughts. Therefore he is certain of one thing.
God made a mistake.
No one should be born with so much power.
A monster awoke in Ren the same year he received his gifts. At ten years old. A prepubescent boy with the ability to control others might merely abuse this power, but Ren allowed it to corrupt him. And since he can have and do anything he wants, Ren should be happy. However, his journey teaches him that harboring so much power doesn't bring happiness, it steals it. Once this realization sets in, Ren makes up his mind to do the one thing that can bring his tortured soul some peace.
He must kill the monster.
Ren is an addictive story of an anti-villain. This spellbinding supernatural fantasy is a must read for anyone looking for the untraditional hero.

They disappear one by one into the night.
˃˃˃ Werewolves Are On The Loose
Mika Lenna - a powerful dream traveler and head of Olento Research - wants to control the world. To do that, he must create an army of assass
ins. Capturing the twelve men was easy, as was experimenting on them while keeping them in drug-induced stupors. But now all hell has broken loose - wolf-like men have been spotted across the nation, leaving fatal attacks in their midst. Mike must tear every city apart until his invaluable werewolves are back under his control.
˃˃˃ The Race Is On
The Lucidite Institute's main mission is to save the world from injustices. Their best agent, Adelaide Lewis, needs to find these mutated men and protect them and society, and fast.

After ten years of wandering the outer rim of the galaxy, Eddie Teach is a man without a purpose. He was one of the toughest pilots in the Federation, but now he’s just a regular guy, getting into bar fights and making a difference wherever he can. It’s not the same as flying a ship and saving colonies, but it’ll have to do.
That is, until General Lance Reynolds tracks Eddie down and offers him a job. There are bad people out there, plotting terrible things, killing innocent people, and destroying entire colonies.
Someone has to stop them.
Eddie, along with the genetically-enhanced combat pilot Julianna Fregin and her trusty E.I. named Pip, must recruit a diverse team of specialists, both human and alien. They’ll need to master their new Q-Ship, one of the most powerful strike ships ever constructed. And finally, they’ll have to stop a faceless enemy so powerful, it threatens to destroy the entire Federation.
All in a day’s work, right?
Experience this exciting military sci-fi saga and the latest addition to the expanded Kurtherian Gambit Universe. If you’re a fan of Mass Effect, Firefly, or Star Wars, you’ll love this riveting new space opera.
