The Dominoes SeriesYA Fiction
If ever a book was classified as a love letter to one's life, this is it. This is my magnum opus. The characters and stories, while based - in part - on real people and events, are intricately woven into a fictional story that houses the layers of life lessons I have learned over the years. If I could leave one thing behind for the world to have, this would be my gift.

Dominoes: The 12 Book SeriesYA Fiction
"Some call them angels, others - kindred spirits. My mother called them Dominoes - individuals divinely placed along life's path as Godwinks, just when you need them. Whether they stay for a lifetime or cross our path for a mere moment, one thing's for certain - they change our lives forever. "
|
Dominoes"It sounded so detached - "prepare the body" - as if my mother were a 'thing,' instead of the center of my world. A world that was now obliterated beyond recognition. A place I couldn't imagine existing in without her."
|
Calling All Dominoes"I'm not a child. I can make my own choices. You had your chance. You lived your life. This is mine."
"You're right. I lived my life. And I made countless mistakes along the way. But I know now that I was sent to be your mother so you don't have to make the same mistakes I did." |
Setting Up Dominoes"It feels so wrong - looking through all her old journals. She always said it wasn't fair to judge ourselves on the mistakes we made at the past, because we did the best we could with what we had at the time. But what if I find secrets she never meant for anyone to know?"
|
Purple Domino - Chloe"I always wondered if one day, when I grew up, I'd have my own 'Chloe' - someone who knew me longer and better than anyone else, the keeper of my past and secrets."
|
Red Domino - Stephen"The key's yours if you want it. I don't have any use for it. Opening it won't give you closure, though. You're more likely to just end up with more unanswered questions. If there's anything to say about him, it's that he's a vault. And as far as I know, no one on earth holds that key."
|
Blue Domino - Liam |
Orange Domino - Michael"I've made every mistake humanly possible.
Destroyed everything I've ever loved. What if I'm not cut out for this?" "But look how far you've come. The man you were is just a shadow of the man you've become. If you hadn't lost everything, you'd never have realized what you want bad enough to fight for it." "She's worth every beat of my heart, every breath in my lungs. I wouldn't be anything without her, and I'll spend the rest of my life making sure she never has a reason to doubt that." |
Black Domino - Decker"I don't believe in villains.
Everyone has a story - we just don't know them all yet." |
White Domino - Andrew"You were wrong about one thing.
When you said there aren't perfect people. In theory, that's true, but I'm convinced that everyone has a perfect person for them." "What makes you think that?" "Because I found you." |
Tipping Dominoes"So now what?"
"We just keep on living - I guess - and see what happens next." "I think we can do a little better than that." |
