When renowned professor Dr. Aidan Ryan vanishes without explanation, he leaves behind a haunting message revealing he has a new life and can never return. His devastated daughter Sofia embarks on a global search to uncover the truth behind her father’s disappearance. What she finds is more shocking than she could have imagined—a web of family secrets and lies that challenges everything she thought she knew.

After clues send her to Italy, Sofia reconnects with her estranged mother Ella who reveals a hidden past of trauma and deceit. When they discover Aidan’s ties to The Brotherhood, an elusive, powerful society that operates in the shadows of world affairs, Sofia and Ella become ensnared in a deadly conspiracy. Trapped in ancient catacombs beneath the Roman countryside, they must face Aidan’s mysterious captors and fight for their lives. But as they edge closer to escape, one question remains: Will Aidan choose his family or The Brotherhood?

Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?

Life is often not what it seems, and faith is not always a virtue. To uncover the truth, one must possess the courage to question everything.

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

Creating characters that are as dimensional, unique, and flawed as real human beings.

How many books have you written, and which is your favorite?

We have written two novellas, dozens of screenplays and teleplays, and one novel, “Chasing Shadows,” which is our favorite.

If you had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?

Isabel May would be brilliant as Sofia in Chasing Shadows.

When did you begin writing?

We started writing short stories and song lyrics in our early teens.

How long did it take to complete your first book?

Chasing Shadows took 2 years to write.

Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?

Mark Twain

Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?

After years of writing for television, film, and theatre, creating our first novel was a revelation. The characters from Chasing Shadows still have more of their story to share, and we envision a sequel.
