Confronting the Past: Lessons from “The Atrium”
You have just experienced a traumatic car accident and then suddenly find yourself within a long, roofless, hallway that appears to be an atrium. This mysterious hallway is decorated with framed pictures that depict doorways into key moments in your life.
From a young boy to an older adult, a man navigates through a journey of self-reflection that forces him to confront prior life decisions and trauma that have shaped his existence. Reliving these past events causes him to examine his emotions, morals, and motives, and evaluate how he can overcome his past indiscretions and experience a life that is enriched in compassion and purpose rather than self.
The Atrium causes us to take a good look at how we treat other people, reevaluate our past, and create a new paradigm for the future that will alter our outlook and empower not only our lives but those around us.
Solitaire allows us to see the battle of the life and death experience by adding a layer of tension and anticipation, while demonstrating that there is still the possibility for growth and redemption.

Available Now – “Between Two Worlds”
Society is collapsing before his eyes.
Sixteen-year-old Cross Mundos is trying to survive in a world of nuclear disaster and environmental decay. His parents have disappeared, leaving him with an eccentric uncle, a war zone, and a landscape where death and extinction seem to be the inevitable outcome. But Cross has an intellect far beyond most in his age category, and despite the challenges he faces, is determined to find a way to endure and even thrive.
To his surprise, his Uncle Ferrum reveals an instrument called a torch, enabling him to rip a hole into the fabric of time and space. This changes everything as he can transport to an identical world, with one catch – it is many decades into the past!
To survive in this new world, he must keep his previous life a secret and yet somehow blend in with the current populace. His ultimate goal is to discover what went wrong in his world and somehow change the course of events to stop the future of this new planet from complete destruction.
Will history repeat itself, or will Cross be the one person who can alter its outcome?
